How AkzoNobel Strengthened Compliance with Continuous Control Monitoring
The challenge
Maintaining IT control compliance is increasingly challenging
IT General Controls are critical for ensuring secure and reliable system operations, but are often executed manually, periodically, or based on static documentation. As ERP environments such as SAP ECC and S/4HANA evolve, organizations face several challenges:
THE SOLUTION
Automated IT General Control monitoring with Sofy Control Automation
Sofy enables organizations to automate IT General Controls by continuously analyzing system configuration and technical data within ERP environments such as SAP ECC and S/4HANA.

KPMG provides a library of standardized analytics for IT General Controls, including password configuration checks, transport management controls, and system configuration validations.
2. Tailor controls to your system landscape
Standard analytics can be adapted to client-specific settings, control requirements, and regulatory expectations.
3. Automate execution on system configuration data
Controls are executed automatically on system-level data, eliminating manual evidence collection.
