The Greenhouse integration enables security and compliance teams to automate User Access Reviews (UAR) by syncing user account and role data from Greenhouse. This helps organizations monitor which users have access to Greenhouse and review assigned roles to support compliance monitoring.
Key Capabilities
User Access Review Data Sync: Import Greenhouse user accounts into Drata
Role Visibility: Monitor roles assigned to users within Greenhouse
Access Governance: Maintain visibility into who has access to Greenhouse to support audit workflows
This integration supports User Access Review workflows, helping demonstrate compliance with access control policies.
