Manual Workday reviews miss over-privileged roles and insider threats

DIY Workday audits miss data exposure, account takeover, and payroll theft risks caused by uncontrolled third-party access.

  • Lack of least-privilege controls exposes HR and payroll data through over privileged roles 
  • Former employees, contractors, or users with changed roles may retain IT system access they no longer need 
  • Limited Workday visibility leaves security blind to insider threats from departing employees
