Monitor and prove critical Workday controls are operating effectively
Maintaining effective governance over Workday requires more than periodic reviews.
Security, compliance and audit teams need visibility into access, configuration changes and user activity to ensure critical controls are operating as intended.
However, many organisations still rely on manual reviews and disconnected reporting, making it difficult to identify risks quickly and demonstrate compliance efficiently.
Kainos solutions provide continuous controls monitoring, helping organisations reduce risk, strengthen governance and maintain confidence that critical Workday controls are effective.
Common challenges of delivering Workday change
- Limited visibility into access to sensitive data and business-critical processes
- Limited oversight of configuration and security changes across Workday
- Challenges identifying access risks and segregation of duties conflicts
- Reliance on periodic reviews rather than continuous monitoring
- Manual, resource-intensive compliance and audit activities
- Challenges maintaining and evidencing IT General Controls (ITGCs)
- Increasing governance, compliance and regulatory requirements
