Case Study: Hearst achieves enhanced Oracle ERP Cloud security and faster, cleaner audits with Fastpath Assure by Fastpath Solutions

Media Giant Hearst Enhances Security and Operationalizes Access Monitoring in Oracle ERP Cloud with Fastpath Assure®

Hearst, a global media and information services company with hundreds of businesses, needed to secure its newly implemented Oracle ERP Cloud and manage complex access risks across acquired and disparate units. To operationalize access monitoring and address segregation-of-duties (SoD) concerns, Hearst engaged Fastpath and implemented Fastpath Assure® to assess controls and centralize security reporting.

Fastpath Assure enabled Hearst to automate a mass review of 4,000 user role assignments, redesign custom roles to reduce SoD risk, and establish continuous access monitoring; the rollout achieved 100% user adoption across business units and produced much faster, cleaner internal audits with clear near-term ROI. Fastpath’s solution also streamlined finance role management, supported recurring six-month reviews, and delivered tighter, more consistent security controls and audit-ready documentation.
