What the Rippling +

Microsoft Intune

 Integration Does

  • Automated device enrollment: New hires' company-issued devices can automatically enroll in Intune management triggered by the Rippling hire event.
  • Role-based policy assignment: Intune's compliance and configuration policies can be assigned based on Rippling department and role data, applying the right security posture per function.
  • Automated offboarding wipe: Employee termination in Rippling can trigger a remote or selective wipe command through Intune, protecting company data.
  • Coordinated hardware provisioning: This integration pairs with Rippling's device ordering workflow so new hardware enrolls in Intune automatically on first login.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

  • Not automating remote wipe at offboarding: Manual device wipe procedures after an employee leaves create a window where company data remains accessible on an unmanaged device.
  • Applying uniform device policies regardless of role: Finance, engineering, and general staff often warrant different compliance policy sets; a single blanket policy either over-restricts general staff or under-protects sensitive roles.
  • Not coordinating with hardware provisioning workflows: Intune enrollment works best when paired with Rippling's device ordering and shipping workflow; treating them as separate processes creates gaps in the day-one experience.
  • Skipping validation of the wipe procedure before go-live: Given the security stakes, teams should test the offboarding wipe workflow thoroughly rather than assuming it works correctly on the first real termination.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

We configure device enrollment so new hires' company-issued devices automatically enroll in Intune based on the hire event in Rippling, reducing manual IT setup for each new employee.

We map Intune's compliance and configuration policy groups to Rippling's department and role structure, ensuring devices receive the correct security policies based on the employee's function.

We build offboarding procedures that trigger a remote or selective wipe through Intune when an employee is terminated in Rippling, and validate this workflow carefully given its data security implications before relying on it in production.

USA & Canadian Operations Note

Microsoft Intune is widely deployed by US mid-market companies standardized on the Microsoft 365 ecosystem for device management and endpoint security.

Canadian and cross-border operations: for Canadian employees, thePeopleStack confirms Intune device compliance policies reflect the correct Rippling work location, particularly where data-residency or provincial privacy considerations apply to device data.
