Cloudflare

What is Cloudflare?

‍

Cloudflare is a cloud-based infrastructure and security platform that provides services such as DNS management, content delivery network (CDN), DDoS protection, Zero Trust access, and application security. It is widely used by organizations to secure websites, accelerate performance, and control access to internal and external applications.

As Cloudflare becomes a core layer of modern internet infrastructure, it often holds critical access policies and identity controls. This makes it a high-impact system for centralized identity governance and automated access management.

Where Cloudflare access management goes wrong without integration

‍

Complex setup and maintenance consuming engineering resources
Custom integrations require managing APIs, authentication flows, and policy mappings. Any change in Cloudflare’s configuration or security model can require ongoing engineering updates.

Access policies drifting over time
Without HR and identity sync, Zero Trust access policies may not reflect real employee status, leaving outdated users with active access rules.

Former employees retaining access paths
If offboarding is not connected to Cloudflare, users may retain access to internal dashboards, admin panels, or protected applications routed through Cloudflare Access.

Security and data handling risks multiply
Misconfigured access policies can expose internal tools or sensitive applications. As Cloudflare often sits at the edge of infrastructure, errors here can have wide-reaching impact.

No visibility into actual usage
Organizations often struggle to track which users actively use Cloudflare-protected applications, making it difficult to optimize access policies or detect anomalies.

How Corma uses Cloudflare integration to automate access control

‍

The right access on day one
Corma automatically provisions Cloudflare access based on HR role and identity provider data, ensuring users receive correct Zero Trust policies from the start.

Automated offboarding
When an employee leaves, Corma instantly revokes Cloudflare access and removes them from all associated access policies and protected routes.

Permissions that reflect current roles
Role-based access templates ensure Cloudflare Zero Trust policies remain aligned with employee responsibilities and organizational structure.

An automatic record of every access change
Every policy update, provisioning event, and deactivation is logged in real time, providing audit-ready compliance evidence for SOC2, ISO 27001, and internal security reviews.

Live visibility into your full Cloudflare access picture
Corma consolidates identity, HR, and Cloudflare access data into a unified dashboard, showing active users, policy mappings, and potential over-permissioned accounts.

Who benefits most from Corma Cloudflare integration

‍

IT administrators managing Zero Trust infrastructure and application access policies.

Security teams enforcing least-privilege access across internal and external systems.

HR teams ensuring employee lifecycle changes automatically reflect in access policies.

DevOps and infrastructure teams maintaining secure and scalable application access layers.

Frequently asked questions

‍

How quickly can Corma be connected to Cloudflare?
Setup typically takes about one minute. Once Cloudflare and your identity provider are connected, Corma begins syncing access data immediately.

Does our team need specialist knowledge to implement this?
No. Corma uses pre-built connectors, so integration can be completed without engineering effort or external consultants.

How is employee data kept secure during the Cloudflare integration?
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in France on AWS infrastructure, and handled under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification with strict minimum-permission access controls.
