For SSPM to detect posture risks in your BambooHR instance, you must onboard your
BambooHR instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to BambooHR
using administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your
BambooHR instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings,
SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
SSPM gets access to your BambooHR instance by using Okta SSO credentials that you provide during the
onboarding process. For this reason, your organization must be using Okta as an
identity provider. The Okta account must be configured for multi-factor
authentication (MFA) using one-time passcodes.
To onboard your BambooHR instance, you complete the following actions:
