Canva

What is Canva?

Canva is a cloud-based visual design and collaboration platform used by teams across marketing, HR, communications, and operations to create on-brand content at scale. As one of the most widely adopted SaaS tools in modern organizations, Canva licenses spread quickly across departments — making it one of the most important tools to bring under centralized access governance.

Where Canva access management goes wrong without integration

Complex setup and maintenance consuming engineering resources — Custom API connections to Canva require mapping data schemas, handling authentication, and updating connectors whenever Canva changes its API. Each change adds another maintenance burden to your IT team.

Licenses accumulating faster than they get cleaned up — Without a live sync between your HR system and Canva, permissions from previous roles and departed employees pile up. Organizations using Corma often discover that over 40% of users have unauthorized access before connecting their systems.

Former employees retaining active Canva accounts — When offboarding is processed in HR but nothing triggers Canva account deactivation downstream, those accounts stay open. An ex-employee with active credentials is one of the most avoidable causes of a data or brand asset breach.

Security and data handling risks multiplying with each integration point — Every connection is a potential vulnerability. Without centralized oversight, tools like Canva accumulate elevated rights over time without proper governance.

No visibility into actual Canva usage — Without integration, it is impossible to know which Canva licenses are actively used, which are dormant, and where spend can be reduced. Organizations using Corma report reducing overall SaaS spend by up to 20% through identifying unused licenses exactly like this.

How is employee data kept secure during the Canva integration?

Corma requests only the minimum permissions necessary for the integration, encrypts all stored credentials, and allows access to be revoked at any point. All data is stored in France on AWS infrastructure, encrypted in transit and at rest, and Corma maintains ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification.
