Segregation of Duties for PeopleSoft
Segregation of Duties (SoD) is the intentional dissemination of tasks within a business process across multiple users.  Such segregation or separation helps avoid fraud and errors and is a tenet of Sarbanes-Oxley (SoX) compliance in commercial financial circles as well as overall security best practices.   Examples include separation of incompatible duties that could allow one person to commit and conceal fraud that may result in financial loss and transactions intentionally divided into multiple steps each conducted and/or approved by separate individuals in order to reduce errors.

Smart SoD™ provides unparalleled segregation of duties functionality for PeopleSoft applications.  It was developed from the ground up as a seamless add-on to PeopleSoft by analysts involved with the PeopleTools security and application designs currently in use within Oracle/PeopleSoft solutions.

Smart SoD was designed in cooperation with compliance experts to address the complete life cycle of activities and automated capabilities required to readily comply with common audit and security requirements:  

A unique offering.
Built on and seamlessly integrated into your existing PeopleSoft infrastructure Smart SoD is uniquely designed and positioned to manage, enforce and report on the segregation of duties across your entire PeopleSoft enterprise.  How else could a solution effectively leverage and navigate the intricacies of your PeopleSoft security unless it’s built right into your existing PeopleSoft infrastructure?

Who is it for?
Users who wish to ensure Compliance to legislation such as SoX, and to satisfy Audit requirements, and thus reduce errors and avoid fraud.

Why would you want to use it?
Whether or not your organization needs to comply with government or industry legislation, auditors recommend as a priority that you separate or segregate the tasks, duties or roles a user can perform.  This is to minimize a user’s ability to access programs with sufficient security authorizations that could enable him to commit fraud.  Smart SoD enables you to define an SoD model in PeopleSoft Enterprise, report on potential violations and enable the security officer to then readily manage and enforce your SoD policy.
