How AccessHub Helps Companies Meet Compliance Requirements Beyond SOX?

Manual access governance—spreadsheets, email approvals, ad-hoc reports—might have worked when systems were fewer and regulations lighter. Today, it’s a liability. A Ponemon Institute study found that organizations spend over 60% of their compliance effort on manual activities, making them prone to delays and errors. Automation changes the equation:

• Real-Time SoD Conflict Detection
  Instead of detecting conflicts after they’ve already created risk, automation enables proactive prevention. AccessHub continuously scans user provisioning requests, flagging potential Segregation of Duties (SoD) conflicts before access is granted. This not only reduces risk but also builds confidence with auditors.
• Centralized Dashboards and Reporting
  Most compliance teams cite fragmented reporting as their biggest challenge. AccessHub provides a single pane of glass across SAP and non-SAP systems, consolidating identities, roles, and risks into one view. This eliminates blind spots and makes governance decisions faster and more accurate.
• Audit-Ready Evidence
  According to ISACA, audit preparation consumes hundreds of hours per cycle when done manually. With AccessHub, logs, approvals, and access change histories are automatically captured and stored in audit-ready formats. This can cut audit prep time by up to 70%, freeing compliance teams for strategic work.
• Scalable Governance
  As organizations expand into new markets or adopt new systems, access complexity grows exponentially. Manual models buckle under this weight. AccessHub’s automation scales seamlessly—enforcing consistent policies across hybrid, cloud, and on-prem environments—while adapting to evolving regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and emerging privacy laws.

How AccessHub Delivers Compliance Beyond SOX?

While SOX is often the starting point for access governance, most organizations face a broader compliance landscape. AccessHub is built to help companies stay ahead of this complexity with capabilities that go beyond check-the-box compliance:

• Automated Segregation of Duties (SoD)
  Instead of relying on periodic reviews that may miss critical conflicts, AccessHub runs continuous SoD checks across SAP and non-SAP systems. This ensures that risks like “create and approve payments” or “modify and approve clinical trial data” are flagged instantly—helping organizations reduce fraud risk and regulatory penalties.
• Cross-System Access Governance
  In many organizations, SAP access is well-governed, but non-SAP systems (CRM, HR, supply chain apps, cloud platforms) remain blind spots. AccessHub unifies access governance across all systems, ensuring consistent enforcement of policies. This reduces human error, eliminates shadow IT risks, and satisfies auditors who increasingly demand end-to-end access visibility.
• Audit-Ready Reporting
  Compliance audits often stall because evidence is scattered across multiple tools. AccessHub consolidates logs, approvals, and entitlements into a single source of truth, making it easy to provide auditable trails for SOX, GDPR, HIPAA, or any internal ITGC audit. The result: weeks of manual effort shrink to hours, and compliance teams can respond to auditors with confidence.

Policy Enforcement and Risk Reduction
AccessHub doesn’t just monitor access—it enforces it. With automated provisioning and deprovisioning, policies are applied consistently across applications, reducing the chance of insider threats, orphan accounts, or non-compliance.

Compliance isn’t just about ticking SOX boxes. Organizations need robust access governance that covers all regulatory requirements, internal policies, and audit expectations.

AccessHub.AI makes this possible by automating access management, enforcing segregation of duties, and providing audit-ready visibility, giving companies the confidence to operate securely, efficiently, and growth-ready.
