Onboard a BambooHR App to SSPM
Connect a BambooHR instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
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

authentication (MFA) using one-time passcodes.
