Automated Access and Risk Reviews in Skywind SoDA™

Enhanced User Access Review Capabilities

Skywind SoDA™ now includes a comprehensive, automated solution for User Access and Risk Reviews that transforms how organizations manage access governance in their SAP environments. This powerful addition to the SoDA platform enables organizations to conduct thorough user access reviews based on sophisticated analysis of user behavior patterns and access rights, ensuring continuous compliance while dramatically reducing manual effort.

The system leverages SoDA's deep understanding of user activities, roles, and permissions to provide context-rich reviews that go beyond traditional static role analysis, identifying actual usage patterns and potential risks that might otherwise remain hidden.

Cybersecurity Protection and Prevention

Effortless Campaign Initiation

The enhanced SoDA platform features a sophisticated yet intuitive interface that allows security teams to initiate comprehensive User Risk Review campaigns in minutes rather than days or weeks. The system's workflow-driven approach guides administrators through a structured process for defining, configuring, and launching review campaigns with minimal effort.

From the Organizational Hierarchy Mapping screen, administrators can easily visualize employee-manager relationships that drive automated workflows for access reviews, risk assessments, and authorization requests across the SAP landscape. This organizational hierarchy serves as the foundation for routing reviews to the appropriate managers and stakeholders automatically.

Comprehensive Review Dashboard

The Review Workflows tab provides a centralized dashboard for managing all aspects of access review campaigns. With clear status indicators showing initial, active, finished, and cancelled workflows, administrators gain immediate visibility into campaign progress and completion rates. The dashboard displays critical metrics including:

  • Total number of workflows by status
  • Workflow types (User Access Review, User Risk Review)
  • Number of employees and reviewers involved
  • Creation and completion timestamps
  • Generation methods and processing types

This comprehensive view enables security teams to monitor multiple concurrent campaigns without additional effort, ensuring timely completion and proper documentation for audit purposes.

Automated Workflow Processing

Intelligent Workflow Generation

The system can automatically generate User Risk Review workflows from SoDA™ reports, creating a direct link between detected segregation of duties conflicts and the review process. This integration ensures that high-risk access combinations are promptly reviewed by appropriate stakeholders.

When generating workflows from reports, the system intelligently breaks down the report's output according to the organizational hierarchy, automatically routing review tasks to the appropriate managers based on employee-manager relationships. This automation eliminates manual distribution efforts and ensures consistent review coverage.

Flexible Processing Options

Administrators can choose from multiple workflow processing types to match organizational needs:

  • Fully automated processing for maximum efficiency
  • Semi-automated processing for balanced control
  • Manual processing for situations requiring additional oversight

This flexibility allows organizations to implement the right level of automation for different review scenarios while maintaining appropriate governance controls.

Advanced Analytics and Reporting

The SoDA User Access Review solution includes sophisticated analytics capabilities that transform raw access data into actionable insights. The system provides:

  • Comprehensive risk profiling based on user access patterns and activities
  • Detailed analysis of potential toxic combinations of permissions
  • Identification of dormant accounts and excessive access rights
  • Trend analysis showing changes in access patterns over time

These analytics enable organizations to move beyond simple compliance checking to implement true risk-based access governance, focusing review efforts on the highest-risk areas first.
