SoD and AI: How Vennx revolutionized the way to build SoD arrays

‍

The management of risks related to segregation of duties (SoD - Segregation of Duties) is one of the essential pillars to guarantee the integrity of business processes, especially in companies subject to compliance with SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) and other regulations. However, to this day, the mapping and construction of SoD arrays are still viewed as manual, slow, and expensive activities.

Vennx decided to change that scenario. And it didn't just change: it revolutionized.

‍

The challenge of making SoD in the traditional model

Developing an effective SoD matrix requires the precise intersection between business functions, conflict rules, access data, and approval processes — all with strict attention to the risks inherent to the operation. On average, the market takes weeks (or even months) to build a single quality matrix, considering manual validations, interviews with user areas, and dependence on the IT team.

With the increase in the volume of accesses, hybrid technological environments and increasingly agile business dynamics, the traditional model simply no longer keeps up with the speed that the market requires.

The turning of the key: AI applied to the SoD matrix

In an unprecedented move in Brazil, Vennx developed SoD Discovery, the first solution in the domestic market to use artificial intelligence to accelerate the development of segregation of functions matrices. The objective is to drastically reduce execution time, without compromising the depth of the analysis or the safety of the results.

This proprietary technology combines intelligent processing of function and transaction data in addition to automated risk identification to ensure integrity and traceability.

The Ipiranga Case

The turning point occurred with Ipiranga, one of the largest fuel distributors in Brazil. The company sought agility, reliability, and innovation in mapping its critical functions.

With the implementation of SoD Discovery, Vennx was able to:

✅ Deliver 20 segregation matrices in just 7 days

✅ Reduce execution time by 98% compared to the traditional model

✅ Ensure a risk view fully aligned with IT, compliance, and auditing controls

Intelligence to make decisions with confidence

The great advantage of SoD Discovery isn't just in its speed. The solution allows companies to visualize hidden risks, make decisions based on structured data, and establish a continuous improvement cycle, with periodic revalidations and dynamic adjustment of SoD rules.

With the support of AI, it is possible to:

• Reduce operational risks and internal fraud;
  
• Facilitate discussions with internal and external audits;
  
• Efficiently meet SOX requirements and good governance practices;
  
• Exonerate internal controls and compliance teams, allowing them to focus on strategic decisions.
