Protiviti has achieved a significant milestone by securing its first patent for Automated Audit Artifact Reconciliation from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patented process significantly reduces the time required to test for unauthorized access in SOX and operational risk assessments, completing tasks in minutes instead of days.
The innovation uses fuzzy matching algorithms to identify unauthorized access from terminated users, streamlining control testing in this important area. This technology can also enhance user access reviews (UARs), traditionally a months-long process. The solution is part of Protiviti's Technology Accelerator Platform and emerged from the company's Global Patent Program launched in 2022.
The patented technology addresses a common pain point in logical access controls, which are a leading cause of SOX and operational control failures across companies of all sizes. It enables full population tests for quick issue identification while improving efficiency and effectiveness in audit processes.
