Independent Security Architecture, SoD Conflict Resolution, and Entra ID Governance across D365 Finance & Operations and Business Central — delivered entirely without system access.
Three structural gaps that persist in D365 F&O and Business Central environments long after go-live.
Conflicting AOT duties in F&O or additive Permission Sets in BC give individual users end-to-end control over critical financial processes — enabling ghost vendor fraud without triggering a single system alarm. ITGC auditors flag these as material weaknesses regardless of workflow controls.
Disabling a user in D365 F&O or Business Central does not release the paid M365 license. Microsoft bills against Entra ID assignments — not ERP user status. The User License Counts report is deprecated in 10.0.49 — most IT teams don't know what replaced it.
Microsoft confirmed: users provisioned via Entra ID security groups bypass the native D365 F&O SoD engine entirely. Your ITGC reports show zero conflicts while users silently hold VendVendorMasterMaintain and VendPaymApprove simultaneously.
