Oracle HCM Integration Guide

Updated this week

The Oracle HCM (Human Capital Management) integration allows HR, Security, and Compliance teams to automate evidence collection by continuously monitoring personnel access and role assignments within Oracle HCM. Connecting Oracle HCM to Drata ensures your organization can verify that only authorized personnel have access to critical HR systems.

Key Capabilities

  • Automated user access monitoring: Continuously syncs user access levels and roles from Oracle HCM.

  • Compliance evidence collection: Provides data for access-related compliance controls.

  • Supports least privilege validation: Verifies correct role assignments for each employee.

  • Continuous synchronization: Keeps personnel and access data up to date for audits.

This integration automates evidence collection for controls mapped to frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR.

Prerequisites & Data Access

  • Must have Administrator access to your company’s Oracle Cloud service.

  • Retrieve your REST Server URL from your Oracle Cloud service welcome email. This is typically in the format:

  • Create an Oracle user with the following required roles (refer to Oracle’s documentation on Add User Account and Assign Roles to an Existing User):

Role Name
