Workday Audit · Durham
Workday Audit in Durham
A review of a Durham organisation's Workday configuration, where the question worth answering first is who can see compensation. Access is granted through overlapping security groups whose combined effect is genuinely hard to reason about — so the only reliable answer comes from testing what specific people can actually retrieve.
Why this comes up
The problem
Nobody can state with confidence which employees are able to view pay data for people outside their own team.
What you get
What we deliver
- Access to sensitive data established by testing, not by reading group definitions
- Security groups reviewed for ones that have outlived their purpose
- Business process definitions counted, with overrides examined for necessity
- Approval steps assessed for whether anyone has ever rejected at them
- Integrations reviewed for failures, stale schedules and over-broad accounts
- Findings ranked by risk to data and by drag on the organisation

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Workday Audit in Durham — common questions
- Why test access rather than review it?
- Because the configuration does not read as its own outcome. Several groups intersect with domain and business process policies, and the practical answer to what someone can see emerges from that combination — which is why proxying as a real user is the reliable method.
- What makes approval steps worth auditing?
- That most of them never reject anything. A step nobody has ever used to stop something is delay without control, and removing it speeds every future transaction — but the case has to be made with the data rather than as an opinion about bureaucracy.
- Do old security groups matter?
- They do when nobody remembers what they were for. Groups created for a reorganisation or a project persist with members still attached, and the access they carry is invisible until someone deliberately lists who belongs to what and why.
- When should this be done?
- Annually, and after any significant reorganisation. Structural change is what invalidates security definitions, and the gap between the organisation on paper and the one configured in the system widens quietly until somebody checks.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
