Where ERP Security Fails — and Auditors Find It

Three structural gaps that persist in D365 F&O and Business Central environments long after go-live.

Critical — SoD

SoD Conflicts Across Both ERPs

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.

High — License

Orphaned License Waste

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.

Critical — Entra ID

The Entra ID Provisioning Gap

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.

Global Manufacturing Client — D365 F&O Role Redesign

A multinational manufacturing organisation with 34 users on premium Operations licenses. A full entry-point audit revealed the vast majority only required Activity or Team Member access. Through targeted role redesign — removing unnecessary premium menu items without disrupting any operational workflow — 31 of 34 users were downsized. No system downtime. Delivered remotely in 5 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions CFOs, IT Directors, and Finance Directors ask most before engaging.

No. All security governance reviews, SoD conflict analyses, and license optimizations are executed using standard out-of-the-box Excel and CSV exports provided by your internal administrators. Zero system credentials or database access are ever required. An NDA is signed before every engagement.
Microsoft confirmed: disabling a user in Business Central or D365 F&O does not release the M365 license. The ERP and the Microsoft 365 Admin Center are two separate systems. The license must be manually removed in M365 Admin Center → Active Users → Licenses and Apps. Until that step is completed, Microsoft continues billing regardless of ERP user status.
Microsoft confirmed: the native SoD engine in D365 F&O only evaluates roles physically assigned directly to the user record. When roles are assigned via Entra ID security groups, the engine does not unpack the group payload — returning false negatives. Users may silently hold conflicting duties like VendVendorMasterMaintain and VendPaymApprove through group membership while the compliance report shows zero violations.
Yes. External auditors test what a user can do at the system privilege level — not what the workflow prevents them from doing operationally. If a user holds both VendInvoiceMaintain and VendPaymApprove in their security roles, the auditor records a conflict regardless of whether a workflow requires a separate approver.
The User License Counts report was deprecated in version 10.0.49. It has been replaced by two new locations: inside D365 F&O — System Administration → Security → Security Governance → License Usage Summary. Outside D365 F&O — Power Platform Admin Center → Licensing → Finance and Operations → Export to CSV.
Both. I engage directly with enterprise end-users — CFOs, IT Directors, and Finance Directors — and also operate as a white-labeled security specialist for Microsoft consulting firms managing complex go-live deployments and post-implementation governance reviews across the GCC, UK, and India.
