Enterprise Governance Blind Spots

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.

Common Questions

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. 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.
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 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 operationally. If a user holds both VendInvoiceMaintain and VendPaymApprove, the auditor records a conflict regardless of whether a workflow requires a separate approver.
Both. I engage directly with enterprise CFOs and IT Directors, and also operate as a white-labeled security specialist for Microsoft consulting firms managing complex go-live deployments across the GCC, UK, and India.
