Okta Integration
Okta is a cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) platform that helps organizations securely connect their employees, customers, and partners to the technology they need to do their jobs. The platform offers features like single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), lifecycle management, and API access management.
How does this integration help Sprinto
The integration primarily helps Sprinto retrieve staff-related information such as name, email address, job roles, onboarding dates, reporting managers, etc. These details are crucial for managing compliance needs related to people management. Sprinto initiates relevant checks if any required information needs to be updated to ensure compliance framework requirements are met.
