Business application controls integration, optimization and monitoring
PwC helps you streamline and modernize your Oracle control environment by shifting from fragmented, manual activities to integrated, automated, and intelligence-driven controls. We leverage Oracle Cloud’s native capabilities, advanced continuous monitoring, and leading practices to identify automation opportunities and redesign control processes for greater efficiency, consistency, and scalability.
Our approach extends beyond traditional ERP controls to address risks across AI-enabled processes—embedding security, strengthening governance, and enabling real-time risk insights across your digital ecosystem. By increasing the proportion of automated controls—often to 60% or more—we reduce manual effort, enhance control reliability, and improve audit readiness.
We complement this with targeted health checks and maturity assessments to evaluate your current state, identify gaps, and prioritize high-impact optimization opportunities. The result is a resilient, future-ready control environment that not only reduces risk and cost but also enables your teams to focus on higher-value, strategic work while scaling innovation with confidence.
Continuous monitoring technology implementation solutions
PwC helps you implement and operationalize continuous monitoring across your Oracle environment to enable real-time risk visibility and proactive control management. We deploy and integrate leading solutions—including Oracle Risk Management Cloud (RMC), PwC’s Enterprise Control, Cloud Guard, and Data Safe—into a unified monitoring framework aligned to your business processes.
Our approach goes beyond tool implementation by configuring these technologies to continuously monitor configurations, detect control deviations, and flag exceptions before they escalate into material risks. We leverage advanced analytics and anomaly detection to identify unusual transactions, potential fraud, and emerging risks across both ERP and AI-enabled processes.
We are also embedding AI agents into the control environment to augment monitoring, investigate anomalies, and trigger intelligent responses—enhancing speed, accuracy, and scalability. The result is a more resilient, intelligent control framework that shifts your organization from reactive compliance to proactive, insight-driven risk management.
Business application security integration, redesign and monitoring
PwC helps you design and modernize your Oracle application security architecture to align with your business, embedding strong segregation of duties and least-privilege, role-based access models tailored to your operating environment. We assess your current state and redesign security to reduce complexity, eliminate excessive access, and optimize license usage—lowering cost while strengthening control.
Our approach extends beyond traditional ERP security to address risks introduced by AI-enabled processes and intelligent automation. We help define and enforce appropriate access, governance, and monitoring for AI models, agents, and data—ensuring secure, transparent, and compliant use of emerging capabilities.
Working alongside system integrators on large-scale Oracle transformation programs, we embed security by design into implementation and operations. The result is a scalable, future-ready security foundation that enhances compliance, reduces risk, and enables you to innovate with confidence while protecting your Oracle Cloud investment.
Digital transformation risk prevention
PwC helps you proactively manage risk across your Oracle-enabled digital transformation by embedding security, controls, and continuous monitoring from design through deployment—and ensuring these changes are adopted and sustained by your organization. We work across business, IT, and program teams to not only identify and mitigate risks early, but also drive the behavioral and process changes required to operate controls effectively in a transformed environment.
Our approach combines automated controls, real-time monitoring, and secure-by-design principles with a strong focus on organizational change—enabling clear accountability, streamlined processes, and intuitive user experiences. We help your teams understand, trust, and efficiently execute controls across ERP and AI-enabled processes, reducing friction and increasing consistency.
The result is a transformation where controls are not just implemented, but embedded into daily operations—driving efficiency, strengthening compliance, and enabling your organization to scale with confidence and sustain value over time.
Building trust with Oracle AI
As organizations adopt Oracle AI Agent Studio and other AI agents orchestrated outside the Oracle ecosystem, many lack clear governance, security, and controls over how these agents access data, execute actions, and impact business processes. Without proper oversight, this introduces risks around data exposure, unintended transactions, and limited accountability. PwC helps you secure and build trust in AI by embedding controls, access governance, and continuous monitoring across all AI interactions with Oracle—enabling safe, transparent, and scalable use of AI while maintaining compliance and operational integrity.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure security design and diagnostics
As organizations expand their use of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), gaps in security configuration, access governance, and monitoring can increase exposure to cyber threats and compliance risks. Misconfigured environments, excessive privileges, and limited visibility often leave critical assets vulnerable. PwC helps you secure and control OCI by implementing robust security architecture, least-privilege access, and continuous monitoring using tools like Cloud Guard and Data Safe—enabling a resilient, well-governed cloud environment that protects your data and supports scalable, secure operations.
Use cases
Organizations have invested heavily in Oracle ERP Cloud, yet expected efficiency gains and decision-ready insights often remain out of reach. Manual controls, fragmented processes, and excessive access drive up costs and limit scalability, while increasing risk exposure. PwC helps you unlock value by redesigning controls, embedding automation and continuous monitoring, and implementing least-privilege security—enabling more efficient operations, reduced cost, and a stronger, more intelligent control environment.
Your teams spend excessive time on manual control execution and SOX documentation, limiting capacity for higher-value work. Low levels of automation and fragmented processes create inefficiencies, increase the risk of error, and slow response times. PwC helps you transform your control environment by leveraging Oracle Cloud capabilities, continuous monitoring, and intelligent automation—including AI-enabled tools—to increase automation rates, reduce manual effort, and improve control reliability—freeing your teams to focus on strategic priorities.
Your Oracle subscription costs have grown beyond expectations due to overly broad access, inefficient license allocation, and a security model not designed for scale. This often introduces segregation of duties risks and limits visibility into who has access to what, especially as AI-enabled processes expand. PwC helps you redesign your security architecture using a least-privilege, role-based approach aligned to your business—reducing subscription costs, strengthening controls, and enabling a more scalable, transparent, and secure access model.
Over time, changes to your Oracle ERP configurations can drift from original design, weakening controls and increasing risk exposure. Without continuous monitoring, control deviations and transaction anomalies may go undetected, raising the likelihood of fraud, errors, or compliance issues. PwC helps you implement continuous monitoring solutions, including Oracle Risk Management Cloud and PwC’s Enterprise Control, to detect configuration drift, flag exceptions, and identify anomalies in real time—leveraging advanced analytics and AI to maintain control integrity and proactively address risks before they become material.
Your second line of defense relies on manual documentation and sample-based testing, limiting coverage and delaying issue identification. This often results in late remediation, increased compliance risk, and inefficient audit cycles. PwC helps you transform control testing by leveraging Oracle Cloud capabilities, continuous monitoring, and AI-enabled automation to test entire populations more frequently—using intelligent analysis to identify anomalies, prioritize risks, and streamline documentation. The result is a more efficient, proactive, and reliable SOX compliance process.
Your Oracle transformation often involves multiple system integrators, increasing the risk that security and controls are inconsistently designed or fall through the cracks. Without independent oversight, gaps between teams can lead to compliance issues, rework, and reduced confidence in the control environment. PwC works alongside your system integrators, whether within or outside of PwC, to provide independent assurance, embedding optimized controls, continuous monitoring, and AI-enabled insights across your Oracle ecosystem. The result is greater transparency, stronger governance, and a more consistent, trusted control environment throughout your transformation.
