What the Rippling +

Adaptive Security

 Integration Does

  • Automated user provisioning: New hire events in Rippling trigger Adaptive Security user creation and initial risk profiling, ensuring employees enter the security awareness program from their first day without manual enrollment.
  • Role-based simulation targeting: Rippling department, job title, and seniority data informs Adaptive Security’s attack simulation targeting, focusing deepfake calls, vishing attempts, and spear phishing campaigns on the employee populations most relevant to each threat scenario.
  • Deprovisioning at offboarding: Employee termination in Rippling removes the Adaptive Security user record, stopping active simulations and keeping risk reporting accurate to your current workforce.
  • Risk score reporting tied to employee context: Adaptive Security’s human risk scores are mapped to Rippling employee data, giving security teams a workforce-contextualized view of which departments and roles carry the highest social engineering risk.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

  • Running simulations without role-based targeting: Sending the same phishing simulation to a finance director and a junior developer wastes simulation budget and produces noise in risk reporting. Rippling role and department data enables Adaptive Security to target simulations where they’re most relevant — finance teams for wire fraud scenarios, executives for CEO impersonation attacks.
  • Not keeping the user roster current: Adaptive Security’s risk scoring and simulation targeting is only as accurate as its user list. Without Rippling-driven provisioning and deprovisioning, departed employees inflate the at-risk user count and new hires enter a gap in coverage.
  • Treating AI attack simulations as a set-and-forget program: Adaptive Security’s deepfake and vishing simulations require ongoing calibration as attack patterns evolve. The Rippling integration handles roster management — but simulation strategy, escalation frequency, and training intervention design require active program management.
  • Not connecting simulation failure to remedial training: Employees who fail phishing or vishing simulations should automatically receive targeted follow-up training. Configuring this closed loop — simulation failure in Adaptive Security triggering a Rippling-connected training enrollment — is the highest-value configuration most teams don’t implement.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

thePeopleStack configures the Rippling–Adaptive Security integration with department and role-based targeting so simulations reach the right employee populations for each threat scenario. We validate the provisioning and deprovisioning workflow against your Rippling offboarding process so risk reporting always reflects your current, active workforce.

For clients building a mature human risk program, we advise on connecting simulation failure outcomes in Adaptive Security to remedial training triggers in Rippling’s connected LMS — closing the loop between attack simulation and training intervention without manual HR coordination.

USA & Canadian Operations Note

Adaptive Security’s AI-powered phishing and deepfake attack simulations are deployed by thePeopleStack’s Rippling clients primarily for US workforce security programs, with simulation scenarios and threat content calibrated to US attack patterns and compliance frameworks including SOC 2 and CMMC.

Canadian and cross-border operations: Canadian employees are provisioned into Adaptive Security through the same Rippling sync. thePeopleStack ensures cross-border employee data handling and PIPEDA considerations are addressed for clients running simulations across US and Canadian workforce populations.

FAQs

How does Adaptive Security use Rippling data to target simulations?

Rippling department, job title, and seniority data drives Adaptive Security’s simulation targeting logic. Finance teams can be prioritized for wire fraud and invoice redirect scenarios; executives for CEO impersonation and deepfake call simulations; and new hires for foundational phishing training — all based on Rippling employee attributes without manual campaign configuration.

What types of attacks does Adaptive Security simulate?

Adaptive Security simulates AI-powered threats including spear phishing emails, vishing (voice phishing) calls, deepfake video and audio, and smishing (SMS phishing). These go significantly beyond traditional phishing simulations to prepare employees for the attack types that are increasingly used against mid-market companies.

Does the Rippling integration keep Adaptive Security user lists current automatically?

Yes. Rippling hire events create Adaptive Security user records and initiate risk profiling. Termination events deactivate the user record, ensuring departed employees don’t receive active simulations or inflate your risk reporting metrics.

Can simulation failure trigger remedial training through Rippling?

With additional configuration, employees who fail Adaptive Security simulations can trigger automated remedial training enrollments in Rippling-connected LMS platforms. This closes the loop between attack simulation and training intervention without requiring manual HR or IT coordination.

How long does the Rippling–Adaptive Security integration take to configure?

A standard configuration covering user provisioning, deprovisioning, and role-based simulation targeting typically takes 3–5 hours. Configuring simulation-to-training feedback loops with Rippling-connected LMS tools requires additional scoping.
