Hi Luise and welcome to the forums
I’d suggest touching base with your external SOX auditor if possible for applicable suggestions. As general advice, the most material financial risks should be included along with random sampling for more routine risks. Below are also some ideas from a quick search (note - a number of vendor or software products were returned in the general search that you might want to avoid).
