Workday security — security groups, ISUs and business processes.
Workday holds your HR and payroll data — over-broad security groups, integration accounts and segregation-of-duties gaps put it at risk. WoneShield assesses and continuously monitors your Workday configuration.
Workday security done right · mapped to Workday security best practices
Why Workday security
The risks Workday won't fix for you.
Over-broad security groups
Security groups and domain/business-process policies granted too widely expose sensitive HR and pay data.
Integration (ISU) account risk
Integration System Users with broad access and stale credentials are a prime, unaudited attack path.
Segregation-of-duties gaps
SoD conflicts let one person both create and approve — a fraud and compliance risk.
