Automate SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence collection by syncing Rippling employee and access data directly into Drata — eliminating manual screenshots and spreadsheet-based audit prep.
The Rippling–Drata integration connects your HR and IT source of truth to your compliance automation platform. Drata pulls employee data, role changes, and access events from Rippling in real time, automatically populating evidence for personnel controls, access reviews, and offboarding workflows required by SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and other frameworks.
When an employee is hired, their record flows into Drata and triggers onboarding evidence requirements. When they leave, Rippling's deprovisioning fires and Drata captures the access removal as audit evidence automatically.
Most mid-market teams configure the Drata–Rippling connection but leave the employee attribute mapping incomplete. Drata requires specific job title, department, and manager fields to correctly categorize personnel controls — if those fields aren't mapped in Rippling, evidence gaps appear and auditors flag them.
Teams also miss setting up automated access review cadences. The integration can trigger Drata's access review workflows directly from Rippling role changes, but this requires additional configuration beyond the default connector setup.
thePeopleStack configures the Drata–Rippling integration with full attribute mapping for personnel controls, including department, job level, employment type, and manager hierarchy. We set up automated access review triggers tied to Rippling role changes and ensure offboarding events generate timestamped Drata evidence automatically.
For clients pursuing SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001, we also align Rippling's custom field structure with Drata's control requirements — so evidence collection is continuous, not a sprint before each audit.
For Canadian entities, thePeopleStack ensures Rippling's Canadian employee records are correctly scoped within Drata so provincial employment data doesn't inadvertently appear in evidence sets intended for US-only audits. We also advise on PIPEDA considerations when syncing employee data to a US-hosted compliance platform.
Yes. The integration provides continuous personnel evidence — hire dates, role changes, access grants, and offboarding events — which satisfies the longitudinal evidence requirements of a Type II audit. Proper attribute mapping and access review configuration are required to avoid gaps.
Employee name, job title, department, manager, employment type, start date, and termination date all sync to Drata. Access provisioning and deprovisioning events triggered by Rippling also generate evidence entries in Drata's control library.
Yes, with proper configuration. Rippling role change events can trigger access review workflows in Drata, ensuring that permission reviews happen automatically when an employee changes departments or job levels rather than only on a fixed calendar cadence.
A standard configuration takes 2–4 hours, including attribute mapping and access review setup. If your Rippling instance has non-standard department or job title structures, additional mapping work may be required.
Yes. thePeopleStack has configured Drata–Rippling integrations for companies with cross-border workforces. We ensure Canadian employee records are correctly scoped and that PIPEDA data handling considerations are addressed in the integration design.
