Some companies allowed remote workers in the past, yet others have not until the Coronavirus arrived. Security and access to data, like the rest of your business processes, needs to now be looked at a bit differently. The good news is that it’s likely your company has many techniques in place already, or ready to implement. However, some controls are often overlooked, and a since ‘a chain is only as strong as its weakest link,’ it’s critical all security controls are addressed. Discover commonly overlooked controls and the steps to ensure security is not compromised with a remote work force.

When establishing security roles in Microsoft D365, it is important to institute a robust security design with minimal security risks resulting from Segregation of Duties (SoD) conflicts and excessive sensitive access. Failure to reduce SoD conflicts and needless SA will result in unexpected risks and audit findings due to a lack of checks and balances in place. The out-of-box security roles inherently contain security risks that when assigned to users, foster a risky environment. In this session, we will discuss security risks, security design, and how to implement the security roles in D365.
