Oracle Risk and Controls – Helping enable confident decisions for enterprise resource planning success
Driving business value from your Oracle investment
Many companies have spent millions on enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, but still lack the heightened efficiency, automation and decision data they were expecting. Now, a well-designed move to Oracle’s ERP cloud can provide both stronger control environments and remarkable efficiency gains.
This is the second wave of ERP. The first wave began decades ago, with on-premise Oracle solutions. This second wave is a big shift to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription model. This is not just an update or improved hosted version of the previous on-premise solutions – it’s a wholesale change to a true SaaS solution. And it’s an opportunity for many companies to strengthen their control environment with higher efficiency through automation.
In your move to the cloud, PwC can support you in your control transformation, applying experienced perspectives and a risk-based lens to your entire ERP design. Large companies can free teams from mountains of manual work by moving to automated controls and SOX testing of their ERP systems, as well as save on subscription fees through thoughtful, least privilege role based application security architecture, to maximize your investment in Oracle Cloud. Bottom line: Drive efficiency and cost savings while controlling risk.

Application security architecture
Ensure your security design is a fit for your business, with proper segregation of responsibilities. We help you avoid additional costs in subscription fees, with a thoughtful approach to your distribution of licenses.
Controls integration services
This is where we take advantage of the native functionality of Oracle cloud to rationalize your control environment and drive a higher percentage of automated controls. If 20 percent of your business controls are automated today, imagine the value you might unlock if you can drive that to 60+ percent.
Oracle risk-management cloud (RMC) implementation
Be smart about using Oracle’s risk management monitoring tool set. Monitor configurations and exceptions to make sure there’s no drift that can undermine your risk controls. Leverage RMC to identify anomalies in transaction processing to identify fraud or errors that could have significant impact on financial results.
Controls transformation
Once you’ve fully made use of Oracle’s cloud key controls configuration and risk monitoring capability, now drive further automation of the test of controls for your second line of defense. Not only can you eliminate the need for manually updating control testing documentation, you can also test more often with entire populations and remediate issues that arise sooner.
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.

Key Problem Statement |
Oracle Change Management |
Organizations lack a consistent, automated way to identify, scope, and extract a complete and accurate population of system changes in Oracle Cloud, and struggle to match those changes to supporting ticket evidence, resulting in manual effort, inefficiencies, and audit challenges. |
User Access Reviews (UAR) |
User access reviews are manual, inefficient, and prone to incomplete or inaccurate data, with poor reviewer engagement and limited visibility, making it difficult to ensure timely, risk-based decisions and audit-ready compliance. |
Security Console Companion |
After Oracle implementations, organizations struggle to maintain security integrity due to limited expertise, manual processes, and lack of ongoing guidance, leading to SoD risks, role design degradation, inconsistent configurations, and increased compliance exposure. |
Oracle Patch IQ |
Organizations lack an efficient way to analyze and understand the security, control, and compliance impacts of Oracle’s quarterly updates, resulting in manual, fragmented assessments that increase risk, delay response, and reduce visibility into critical changes. |
OCI Health Check Assessor |
Organizations have limited visibility into their OCI security configurations and risk exposure, leading to undetected vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and non-compliance with security and governance standards. |
Control Compass |
Organizations rely on manual, resource-intensive processes to assess and optimize their control environments, causing them to miss opportunities to implement automated controls and fully leverage Oracle Cloud for stronger, more efficient compliance frameworks. |
