BUSINESS VALUE

Stronger Controls, Smoother IPO

IPO-filing companies regularly disclose material weaknesses from inadequate controls and Segregation of Duties (SoD) issues. Managing access and governance manually across complex application landscapes makes these gaps almost inevitable – jeopardizing investor confidence. It doesn’t have to be this way.

32% of companies reported material weaknesses during their IPOs resulting from SoD issues.
Use Cases

Ensure IPO Readiness with Identity & Access Governance

IPO preparation often exposes gaps in governance, from weak controls to insider threats. Pathlock helps organizations stay ahead with thorough risk assessments and continuous control monitoring—preventing fraud and material weaknesses before they jeopardize investor confidence.

  • Assess risk across all systems and applications
  • Detect and remediate Segregation of Duties conflicts
  • Prevent material weaknesses from undermining IPO readiness
