What the Rippling +

Duo Security

 Integration Does

The Rippling–Duo Security integration automates multi-factor authentication enrollment and policy assignment based on employee role and department. New employees are automatically enrolled in Duo with the correct authentication policy, and access is revoked immediately when they're offboarded in Rippling.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

Companies often apply the same MFA policy to all employees regardless of role, missing the opportunity to enforce stricter authentication — like hardware security keys — for higher-risk positions such as finance and IT administrators.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

thePeopleStack configures provisioning rules between Rippling and Duo Security, including role-based MFA policy mapping for higher-risk positions, and validates that offboarding immediately revokes MFA enrollment.

USA & Canadian Operations Note

Duo Security deployments for thePeopleStack's Rippling clients are structured around US MFA policy enforcement tied to Rippling department and role-based access requirements.

Canadian and cross-border operations: for Canadian employees, Duo Security provisioning follows the standard onboarding and offboarding workflow with no additional configuration required.

FAQs

Does Duo Security integrate with Rippling for provisioning?

Duo Security supports SCIM provisioning, allowing Rippling to automate MFA enrollment and policy assignment tied to employment status changes.

Can Rippling assign different MFA policies by role?

Yes, through group mapping. Higher-risk roles — finance, engineering, IT admins — can be assigned stricter MFA policies, such as requiring hardware security keys rather than push notifications.

What happens to MFA enrollment when an employee is terminated?

When a termination is processed in Rippling, Duo Security access is revoked, ensuring the former employee's MFA enrollment can't be used to authenticate into any connected systems.

Does this integration work alongside other identity providers?

Duo often serves as the MFA layer within a broader identity stack, working alongside Rippling's identity provisioning and other systems like Okta for a defense-in-depth security posture.

How long does configuration take?

Standard configuration takes 2–3 hours.
