The Corma integration for Ironclad brings Ironclad accounts under Corma's access governance: IT controls who can view, edit, approve or manage legal agreements, and removes that access when people change roles or leave. Ironclad is a cloud-based contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform used by legal and business teams to create, manage, negotiate and store contracts digitally. It streamlines contract workflows, from drafting and approvals to e-signature and final execution.
Where does Ironclad access management break down without integration?
As organizations scale their legal and procurement operations, Ironclad becomes a central system for sensitive contractual data. Access control decides who can see and act on each agreement.
- Manual user provisioning slows legal workflows: without automation, IT teams grant access to legal and procurement staff by hand, which delays contract processing.
- Access not aligned with role changes: when HR and identity systems are not connected, users may keep access to contracts and negotiation workflows that no longer fit their role.
- Former employees retaining access to legal documents: without automated offboarding, ex-employees may still access sensitive contracts, NDAs and procurement agreements.
- Over-permissioned access increases legal risk: manual role assignment can give users broader access than required and expose confidential contractual data.
- Limited visibility into contract system usage: organizations often lack insight into which Ironclad users are active, which makes licenses hard to optimize and governance hard to enforce.
How Corma automates Ironclad access control
- Correct access from day one: Corma provisions Ironclad accounts from HR and identity provider data through automated provisioning, so users receive appropriate permissions when they start.
- Offboarding and access revocation: when an employee leaves or changes roles, Corma handles deprovisioning automatically, which prevents unauthorized interaction with contracts and legal workflows.
- Role-based access alignment: permissions stay synchronized with organizational roles, so users only access the contract data relevant to their responsibilities, following the principle of least privilege.
- Complete record of access changes: every provisioning action, update and removal is logged in an audit trail that supports SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 requirements.
- Unified visibility into Ironclad usage: Corma brings HR data, identity provider information and Ironclad activity into a single dashboard, so organizations can identify inactive users and optimize license allocation.

Frequently asked questions
How does Corma connect to Ironclad?
Once Ironclad and your identity provider are connected, Corma starts synchronizing access data and applies your provisioning and offboarding rules to Ironclad accounts.
Do we need engineering support to implement this?
No. Corma uses pre-built connectors, so no custom development is required.
How is data security handled during integration?
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest and hosted on AWS in data centers inside the European Union. It is protected under ISO/IEC 27001:2022-certified security standards with strict governance.
