From Guesswork to Governance: Prinova’s Security Journey

Abstract:

A sustainable security and compliance model depends on visibility and confidence. For Prinova, that meant moving from reactive security management to taking control directly within JD Edwards.

This session explores Prinova’s journey from quick wins to complex security transformation after transitioning to ALLOut. Immediate results included cleaning up inactive users by 50% as well as clarity around roles, hierarchies, audits, and Segregation of Duties. Problem areas that had previously felt like guesswork.

The focus shifted from copying accumulated access to “What is your job and what are you going to need access to?” Establishing a ‘god-like’ CPR Finance role and dividing it into AP, AR, and operational roles built trust and buy-in across the team for change control projects.

Developing a controlled, repeatable process for testing and promoting security changes was the turning point. By verifying access in advance with ALLOut, the team eliminated outages and delivered visibility, accountability, and confidence, while optimizing turnaround times.

Join Prinova as they share their journey on achieving immediate impact and sustained success by moving security ownership fully in-house without disrupting operations.
