Corma directly integrates with Datadog for automated user provisioning and Identity Access Management (IAM) as a service
Datadog is a cloud-based observability and monitoring platform used by engineering, DevOps, and security teams to track application performance, infrastructure health, logs, metrics, and security signals in real time. It helps organizations detect incidents faster, troubleshoot system issues, and maintain reliability across complex cloud environments.
As Datadog becomes a central source of operational visibility, access to dashboards, logs, and alerts is often shared across engineering and security teams. This makes it a high-impact system where strong identity governance is essential.
Manual user management increases operational load
Without automation, IT teams must manually handle onboarding and offboarding in Datadog, which becomes difficult as engineering teams grow.
Access not aligned with employee roles
When HR and identity systems are not synced, users may retain access to logs, metrics, or dashboards that exceed their job responsibilities.
Former employees retaining observability access
If offboarding is not automated, ex-employees may still have access to system logs, infrastructure data, and production monitoring tools.
Over-permissioned monitoring environments
Broad access to observability data can expose sensitive infrastructure details, increasing security and compliance risk.
Limited visibility into active usage
Organizations often lack clarity on which Datadog users are active, which roles are underused, and where licenses can be optimized.
Automated provisioning from onboarding
Corma assigns Datadog access automatically based on HR and identity provider data, ensuring engineers and teams receive appropriate monitoring access from day one.
Instant offboarding and access revocation
When an employee leaves, Corma immediately removes their Datadog access, eliminating orphaned accounts and reducing exposure to production data.
Role-based access alignment
Access is continuously synchronized with job roles so users only see dashboards, logs, and metrics relevant to their responsibilities.
Full audit trail of all access changes
Every provisioning action, role update, and deactivation is logged automatically, supporting SOC 2, GDPR, and ISO 27001 compliance requirements.
Unified visibility across Datadog usage
Corma consolidates HR, identity, and Datadog activity data into a single dashboard, helping teams identify inactive users and excessive permissions.
IT administrators managing access across engineering and observability tools.
DevOps and SRE teams ensuring secure and structured access to production monitoring systems.
Security teams controlling visibility into logs, alerts, and infrastructure data.
HR teams automating onboarding and offboarding tied to employee lifecycle changes.
How quickly can Corma be connected to Datadog?
Setup typically takes only a few minutes. Once connected to your identity provider, synchronization begins immediately.
Do we need engineering support to implement this?
No. Corma provides pre-built connectors that eliminate the need for custom development or ongoing maintenance.
How is data security handled during integration?
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted in France on AWS infrastructure, and managed under ISO/IEC 27001:2022-certified security controls with strict access governance.
