HERE'S WHY
Running an ad-hoc Identity sync allows for syncing identity and other account-based data across the following connected systems at any time rather than waiting for daily automated syncs performed by Drata:
IdP (and IdP groups)
HRIS
Infrastructure
Version Control
MDM
External Policy Management
Security Training
Observability
Vulnerability Scanning
Offboarding
Background Checks
Compliance as Code
User Access Review (UAR)
BEFORE DIVING IN
Make sure you have Admin access to your Drata account.
