Segregation of Duties (SoD)

Description

The segregation of duties (SoD) is a fundamental element of internal controls, defined to prevent error and fraud. Segregation of duties ensure that at least two individuals are responsible for the separate parts of any task.

For each user, the roles tab displays the list of roles assigned to the user and the possible risks. If you click on a role record, Soffid will show the entitlement details including the SoD rules with the detail of the risk.Ā
