What the Rippling +

Zscaler

 Integration Does

The Rippling–Zscaler integration automates user lifecycle management in Zscaler's zero trust network access (ZTNA) platform. When employees are hired in Rippling, Zscaler accounts are provisioned with the appropriate policy groups and access tiers based on department and role. When employees leave, Zscaler access is revoked immediately as part of Rippling's offboarding workflow — ensuring zero trust policies aren't undermined by orphaned user accounts.

Zscaler is common in mid-market and enterprise organizations running cloud-first security architectures. Connecting it to Rippling ensures the employee identity layer feeding Zscaler's access policies stays current without manual IT administration.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

IT teams managing Zscaler manually often fall behind on user deprovisioning, particularly for contractors and temporary employees whose end dates aren't tracked in an HRIS. Connecting Zscaler to Rippling's termination workflow closes this gap — and it's one of the first things security auditors check.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

thePeopleStack configures the Rippling–Zscaler integration with SCIM-based provisioning, department-to-policy-group mapping, and immediate deprovisioning on termination. We coordinate with IT teams to ensure Zscaler's user groups align with Rippling's department and role structure before activating the sync.

USA & Canadian Operations Note

Zscaler integrations for thePeopleStack's Rippling clients are built around US zero trust network access architectures and IT security policies.

Canadian and cross-border operations: for organizations with Canadian employees accessing resources through Zscaler, Rippling provisions and deprovisions Zscaler access under the same lifecycle rules as US employees.

FAQs

Does Zscaler integrate with Rippling?

Yes. Zscaler supports SCIM-based user provisioning that connects to Rippling for automated account lifecycle management, including provisioning on hire and deprovisioning on termination.

What Rippling attributes map to Zscaler?

Employee name, email, department, and role from Rippling map to Zscaler user accounts and policy group assignments. Role and department attributes determine which Zscaler access policies apply to each user.

What is zero trust network access and why does HRIS integration matter?

Zero trust network access (ZTNA) grants network access based on verified user identity rather than network location. When user identity comes from Rippling, keeping Zscaler's user directory current with Rippling's employee roster is essential for zero trust policies to enforce correctly.

Can Rippling control Zscaler policy groups?

Yes. Rippling's department or job title attributes can map to Zscaler policy groups, automatically assigning new employees to the correct access tier based on their role in Rippling.

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

Configuration takes 2–3 hours including SCIM setup, policy group mapping, and deprovisioning validation.
