The need for automated management for business processes grows each day as more complexities arise in the business systems landscape. Organizations around the world are pushing to ensure that they have robust controls over their SAP systems through Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM) across all aspects of their business. From financial integrity to data protection, CCM tools like those offered by Pathlock allow businesses to monitor, track and assess their processes more effectively.

CCM allows organizations to automate monitoring of their critical processes to gain insights in real-time, instead of manual assessments which are more time consuming and prone to error. Businesses can view their control systems at any time and identify potential risk areas through real-time monitoring to make informed decisions in mitigating the risk.

CCM technology is a salient need for SAP because of the convoluted nature of the software. Pathlock CCM enables SAP users to monitor all SAP transactions and single out anomalies for further inspection. SAP data such as customer information and financial details can become a prime target for data breaches; therefore, organizations must adopt a proactive approach in ensuring that security protocols for digital assets in various business units such as finance, compliance, cybersecurity, and other integral business processes are protected and up to date.

Financial Focus

On the financial side, CCM may ensure regulatory compliance through accurate and attested financial reporting and automated audit processes, which will help businesses minimize financial losses by addressing abnormalities during the monitoring process.

In terms of information security, there will be higher visibility into the security controls which will make it easier to identify and correct weak points of the security infrastructure to mitigate impact of data breaches and cyber-attacks.

Lastly, CCM automates critical business processes which enhances process monitoring and quality of data collection for organizations, instead of relying on manual process controls that may be inefficient and more prone to human error.

As technological innovations provide more opportunities and offerings in business technology, at the same time, they also lead to greater internal and external threats to an organization’s IT infrastructure. CCM can be seen as a powerful resource that provides instant insight and oversight into a business’s business technology environment that may help an organization deal with anomalies before they become a problem in the future.
