Access Architect — score every SoD conflict before you triage it

Most SoD reviews start with a 10,000-row spreadsheet. Access Architect tells you which ones to actually look at — and which 70 to 90% are noise — before you spend audit hours on them.

What auditors see

Every conflict in the catalog gets one of five scores: real, likely real, unclear, likely false, false. The score comes with reasoning per signal — which rule fired, which user-role assignment caused it, which transactions were actually used, and which org-dimensions already separate concern. The auditor reads the reasoning, not just the verdict.

How the scoring works

Each conflict combines structural signals (does the user have both roles? does the rule fire on the actual transactions?) with behavioral signals (did the user actually run the conflicting transactions in the last scan window? Were they in a heavily-used process area or a dormant one?) with org signals (do the company codes, plants, or business areas already separate concern?).

The reasoning panel shows every signal that contributed to the score, so the auditor can argue with it. Auditors who disagree can override. The override gets logged for the next scan's audit trail.

Conflict clustering

Conflicts that share a role, a company code, or a usage pattern get clustered automatically. You see “30 conflicts caused by role Z_FIN_AP across 7 users” instead of 30 separate rows. Fix the role; clear 30 conflicts.

Process-area usage signals

Every process area gets a usage signal: heavy, moderate, light, or unused. A SoD conflict in an unused process area is almost certainly a false positive that doesn't matter for audit. A conflict in a heavy process area is the one to staff first.

Auditors stop spending equal time on every conflict. They spend their time where the activity is.

Per-rule effectiveness scoring

Each rule in the library gets a per-customer effectiveness score: how many of its conflicts are real, how many are noise, and what the recommended action is — keep, recalibrate, disable, add an org-dimension rule, or investigate. After two scans, your rule library is tuned to your reality, not the generic out-of-the-box library.

Org-dimension recommendations from real activity

Based on real activity, Access Architect recommends org-dimension rules — tighter rules that say “this conflict only matters when both users are in the same company code” or “this conflict only matters when the plant is X.” The recommendations come with the activity evidence.

How Access Architect fits with Access Intelligence

Access Architect scores the conflicts that Access Intelligence finds. They ship together. Access Intelligence gives you the conflict catalog and the per-conflict explain. Access Architect tells you which ones to actually act on, clusters them, and tunes the rule library to your activity.

Frequently asked questions

Does Access Architect work without Access Intelligence?

No — Access Architect scores conflicts that Access Intelligence finds. They ship together.

How fresh is the scoring?

It runs against your latest snapshot. New snapshot, new scoring. The activity signals use the same period the snapshot covers.

Can the scoring be wrong?

Yes — and the reasoning panel shows you why it scored that way so you can override. Overrides are logged for the next audit cycle. Per-rule effectiveness scoring uses overrides as a feedback signal.

When did Access Architect launch?

The diagnostic engine activated 2026-05-04. Access Architect is the public-facing layer over it.
