What the Rippling +

Ninjio

 Integration Does

  • Automated learner enrollment at hire: New hire events in Rippling create Ninjio learner accounts with role-appropriate training assignment — enrolling new employees in the security awareness program from their start date.
  • Role-based training targeting: Rippling department and role data drives Ninjio's training content assignment, routing employees in higher-risk roles to targeted supplemental phishing and social engineering content alongside the standard curriculum.
  • Completion data sync to Rippling: Ninjio episode completion data flows back to Rippling's training compliance dashboard, providing a centralized security awareness completion record.
  • Offboarding deprovisioning: Employee termination in Rippling deactivates the Ninjio learner account, removing the departed employee from active training assignments and monthly episode distribution.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

  • Not using Rippling role data to target Ninjio training by department: Blanket security awareness training sent to all employees at the same frequency and content level misses the risk differentiation between a finance director and a warehouse associate. Rippling role data should drive higher-frequency and more targeted Ninjio content for privileged roles.
  • Not syncing Ninjio completion back to Rippling for compliance reporting: Security awareness training completion is increasingly a compliance requirement for cyber insurance and SOC 2. Without Ninjio completion data in Rippling's compliance dashboard, HR and IT can't produce a unified training compliance report without manual data exports from two separate systems.
  • Not enrolling new hires in Ninjio from Rippling's hire event: New employees who aren't enrolled in security awareness training from their start date represent a security risk during their first weeks — precisely when phishing susceptibility is highest for unfamiliar employees. Hire-triggered Ninjio enrollment should be part of the standard Rippling onboarding workflow.
  • Not deactivating Ninjio accounts at offboarding: Former employees who remain in Ninjio's active learner roster continue receiving monthly security episode emails on the company's behalf after departure. Offboarding deprovisioning should be automated through Rippling to prevent this ongoing communication to former staff.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

thePeopleStack configures the Rippling–Ninjio integration with role-based training assignment that targets higher-risk employee populations with appropriate supplemental content, and completion data sync back to Rippling's compliance dashboard for centralized security training reporting. We set up hire-triggered enrollment so new employees are in the Ninjio training program from day one, and configure offboarding to remove departed employees from active episode distribution.

USA & Canadian Operations Note

Ninjio security awareness training is deployed by thePeopleStack's Rippling clients primarily for US employee populations, with training assignment and completion tracking configured around US org hierarchies and Rippling's US employee data as the source of truth for learner enrollment.

Canadian and cross-border operations: Canadian employees are provisioned into Ninjio through the same Rippling sync, with thePeopleStack confirming PIPEDA-relevant data handling for employee training activity records and ensuring compliance training content selections account for Canadian privacy and cybersecurity regulatory contexts where applicable.

FAQs

What is Ninjio and how does it work with Rippling for security awareness training?

Ninjio delivers short-form, Hollywood-produced animated security awareness episodes — typically under 4 minutes — designed to be consumed monthly by employees. The Rippling integration provisions Ninjio learner accounts at hire, assigns training based on role and department, tracks completion back to Rippling's compliance dashboard, and deprovisions accounts at offboarding.

Can Rippling role data drive targeted Ninjio training assignment by department?

Yes. Rippling department and role data drives Ninjio's training assignment, ensuring employees in higher-risk roles — finance, IT, executives, HR — receive targeted phishing and social engineering training content alongside the standard security awareness curriculum. Role-based targeting from Rippling prevents generic all-hands assignment that ignores the higher attack surface of privileged roles.

Does Ninjio completion data sync back to Rippling's compliance tracking?

Ninjio episode completion data flows back to Rippling's training completion tracking, providing a centralized view of security awareness compliance alongside other compliance training in Rippling's LMS dashboard. This gives HR and IT a single compliance report rather than requiring separate completion exports from Ninjio and Rippling.

How is Ninjio learner offboarding handled through Rippling?

Employee termination in Rippling deactivates the Ninjio learner account, removing the departed employee from active training assignments and monthly episode send lists. For organizations running security awareness programs at scale, automated Rippling-driven deprovisioning ensures former employees don't continue receiving company security training communications after departure.

How long does the Rippling–Ninjio integration take to configure?

A standard configuration covering learner provisioning, role-based training assignment from Rippling data, completion data sync, and offboarding deprovisioning typically takes 2—3 hours. Ninjio deployments with custom phishing simulation campaigns or role-specific advanced training tracks may require additional configuration time.
