Everything you were taught about the SoD Matrix is outdated

Segregation that avoids losses

The structuring of the Segregation of Functions Matrix has always been a mark of maturity in internal controls. It protects companies' most critical processes against operational risks, accounting failures, and internal fraud. By distributing tasks of the same process among different managers, the objective is clear: to create barriers that prevent any individual from operating without supervision or counterpart.

But what was once synonymous with control has now become synonymous with slowness.

Companies that still use traditional methods to define, review, and implement their segregation matrices have to deal with long execution windows, high labor costs, and a series of blind spots that continue to open space for inconsistencies and vulnerabilities.

The problem with making SoD as it's always been done

Imagine manually mapping dozens of processes, crossing spreadsheets, validating access profiles based on organizational roles, and then submitting everything to a long chain of approvals. This is the classic scenario of constructing a segregation of functions matrix using conventional methods.

On average, a single SoD array can take up to four months to be ready. This is without considering revisions or the ongoing maintenance necessary to ensure that accesses remain aligned with the current functions of each collaborator.

This template is out of stock.

It doesn't scale, it doesn't talk about the speed of the business, and it leaves your company exposed to risks just when it most needs to protect itself.

A change of logic

Vennx created SoD Discovery, a new segregation of duties matrix model that combines automation, artificial intelligence, and native integration with your company's critical systems.

Not only does this technology accelerate the implementation process, it also eliminates major governance bottlenecks and reduces the risk of human error in access definitions.

See what changes with SoD Discovery:

• Reduction of up to 98.33% in the time needed to implement the matrix
  
• automated detection of access conflicts before they become material failures
  
• full compliance with standards such as SOX, ISO 27001, COSO and internal auditing guidelines
  
• savings in time, cost and effort for teams that were previously overwhelmed with manual controls

When technology anticipates risks

SoD Discovery isn't just a matrix. It is a complete framework for preventing fraud and ensuring that your company is always in line with the highest standards of governance and information security.

With direct integration with VX, our intelligent GRC platform, it is possible to map accesses, cross permissions with positions and responsibilities, and generate a matrix ready to be validated - all in days, not months.

The change isn't just in speed, but in impact. By adopting this new model, your company gains full visibility of who can do what within its systems, preventing accumulated or ill-defined accesses from becoming critical breaches during audits.

A Complete SoD Matrix Roadmap

If you want to transform the way your company deals with segregation of duties and place your processes at another level of maturity, the first step is to understand what SoD Discovery can do for you.

We prepared a detailed roadmap with the model's main differentials, real application examples, and a clear vision of how your company can move out of a manual and inefficient scenario for intelligent, agile and auditable control.
