How Argeye Works
Argeye is the full-suite Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform built for Workday — five connected modules that turn continuous monitoring into tracked, defensible decisions.
Scans
Automated scans continuously evaluate and monitor changes across five areas of your Workday tenant:
System Access
Who can get into the system — external account creation, authentication policy changes, and more.
User Access
Once inside, who can reach configurable sensitive or privileged items — security group edits, assignable role edits, and more.
Segregation of Duties
SoD conflicts, fully configurable across Domains and Business Processes.
User Activity
Configurable rules that monitor specific actions, including activity performed against peers or managers.
Business Process Changes
Configuration changes made to Workflows, tracked as they happen.
Findings, Issues, and Risks
Every Scan, Activity, and Audit produces Findings — observations that may need action. A Finding can be accepted, mitigated, or escalated into an Issue.
Issues are remediation objects. Every Issue links to at least one Finding, and a single Issue can group multiple related Findings together — so you can apply one decision in bulk, or track remediation that spans more than one observation.
Both Findings and Issues link back to your Risks register — your organization's catalog of the risks that actually matter — giving you one holistic view of what controls are in place for what risk, sourced from Scans, Activities, and Audits alike.
Activities and Audits
Automation only goes so far. Scans run continuously across your Production and Non-Production Workday Environments, but some compliance work will always need a person — and it still has to be scheduled, evidenced, and defensible.
Recurring work that can’t be automated
- Monthly review of all manual Payroll Inputs
- Bi-annual password reset for external vendors
Scheduled, tracked to completion, evidenced for audit.
Formal engagements, start to finish
- IT General Controls
- SOX Compliance
Scope, timeline, findings, and evidence in one record.
How it all flows together
Scans, Activities, and Audits all tag back to your Risk register — so what you’re covered on, and where you’re exposed, lives in one place instead of three.

What makes Argeye different: controls that stay honest
A risk acceptance is only as good as the facts it was based on. Most tools check those facts once, at the moment a Finding is triaged, and never again. Argeye keeps checking.
When a Business Process changes, Argeye re-checks what depended on it
Say you accepted a Finding because the initiator's approval was checked by three subsequent approval steps — a reasonable compensating control at the time. Six months later, someone removes two of those approval steps from the Business Process. The Finding you closed is no longer safe, and nothing about your prior decision would normally tell you that. Argeye automatically flags the affected User Access Rule or SoD Ruleset for review, and reopens every previously-triaged Finding tied to that Business Process — before your next audit finds it for you.
Even a calculated field nested five layers deep triggers a re-check
Business Processes often gate an approval behind an entry condition, and that entry condition can depend on a calculated field — which can itself depend on another calculated field, nested arbitrarily deep. Edit any calc field anywhere in that chain, and Argeye traces it back through the entry condition, the approval step, and the Business Process to reopen every Finding that decision affects.
