Keka

What is Keka?

Keka is a modern, employee-centric HR and payroll platform built for growing businesses across Asia and beyond that want to move beyond outdated, process-heavy HR systems and into a people management experience that feels as current as the organizations it serves. Combining core HR administration, payroll processing, attendance and leave management, performance management, hiring workflows, and employee engagement tools in one deeply integrated platform, Keka was designed with a clear conviction — that HR software should serve employees as much as it serves HR teams. The result is a platform that reduces administrative friction, increases workforce visibility, and creates the kind of HR experience that employees actually engage with rather than tolerate.

Where Access Management Creates Friction Without a Keka Integration

Organizations managing application access separately from their Keka data encounter the same efficiency-destroying problems that Keka was built to eliminate from HR operations:

Onboarding delays that contradict Keka's efficiency promise — When Keka processes a new hire with speed and precision but application accounts still have to be created manually downstream, the efficiency Keka delivers to the HR side of onboarding is immediately undermined at the access layer. New starters wait for tools they need while IT works through a provisioning queue that should not exist.

Permission accumulation that grows with every unmirrored role change — Without Keka driving automatic access updates, every promotion, team transfer, or role evolution recorded in Keka adds new access without retiring the old. Employees accumulate permission profiles that span the full history of their employment — sprawling, inconsistent, and entirely disconnected from what their current position actually requires.

Leaver accounts that stay active after Keka records a departure — Keka maintains precise, timestamped departure records as part of its broader workforce management framework. Without those records automatically triggering account deactivation downstream, former employees retain active credentials in live business systems long after their employment has formally concluded — one of the most common and most preventable sources of security exposure that growing businesses face.

Compliance gaps that undermine an otherwise well-managed HR program — Growing businesses using Keka are increasingly subject to regulatory frameworks — GDPR, SOC2, ISO 27001 — that require documented evidence of access governance. Without automated tracking tied to Keka employment data, building that evidence is a manual, error-prone process that falls short of the standard a well-managed HR program deserves.

How Corma Converts Keka's Workforce Data Into Automated Access Control

Efficient provisioning from the moment a hire is confirmed in Keka — The instant a new employee record is created in Keka, Corma reads their role, department, team, and payroll classification and provisions every corresponding application account automatically. New starters arrive to a complete, role-appropriate digital workspace — consistent with the efficient, employee-first onboarding experience that Keka is designed to deliver.

Departure-triggered deactivation with no manual dependency — Corma monitors departure records and end dates in Keka continuously, triggering immediate, synchronized account deactivation across all connected applications the moment employment formally concludes. SCIM and API-enabled platforms are handled fully automatically; for others, targeted alerts ensure complete coverage without relying on manual coordination between HR and IT.

Permissions that reflect the current role, not the full employment journey — Role-based access templates anchored to Keka data ensure every employee holds exactly the permissions their current position requires — nothing carried from previous roles, nothing granted informally, nothing that contradicts the clean, current picture of organizational roles that Keka maintains. Every permission set is as accurate and up to date as the Keka record it is built on.

A compliance record that builds itself as naturally as Keka tracks HR events — Every provisioning action, permission update, and account deactivation is captured in Corma's audit trail as it occurs — automatically, permanently, and without any manual logging effort. Compliance evidence accumulates continuously as a byproduct of access management activity, available at any moment in complete and organized form.

Key Features of Corma Keka Integration

Access Templates Built on Keka's Role and Department Structures

Define permission sets around the roles, departments, and team hierarchies maintained in Keka and let Corma apply them automatically whenever an employee is assigned or updated. Every person in the same role receives the same access — provisioned consistently, updated automatically when Keka records a change, and retired cleanly when employment concludes.

Automated Provisioning That Matches Keka's Onboarding Efficiency

Corma integrates natively with Keka and operates alongside platforms including BambooHR, Kallidus, Justworks, JumpCloud, IntelliHR, Insperity Premier, Humaans, Hibob, Personio, and Deel — using the full depth of Keka's employee data to drive complete, accurate provisioning for every new hire without manual steps, provisioning backlogs, or process gaps at any stage of the onboarding journey.

Continuous Real-Time Synchronization Across Your Identity Infrastructure

Every employment status change, role update, team transfer, payroll reclassification, or departure recorded in Keka flows immediately through Corma to identity providers like Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra, propagating to all connected downstream applications within minutes — no batch windows, no overnight sync cycles, no manual triggers required at any point.

Always-Current Compliance Documentation Without Manual Maintenance

Access events are permanently logged as they occur, building a governance record that requires no manual upkeep, no retrospective reconstruction, and no preparation effort when a compliance review arrives. Generate reports on demand, schedule access reviews tied to live Keka data, and approach any audit with documentation that is already accurate, comprehensive, and organized.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can Corma be connected to Keka?

Setup takes approximately ten minutes. Once connected, Corma begins acting on Keka employment data immediately, with comprehensive automation typically operational across the full application stack within a few days.

Does implementation require specialist knowledge?

No. Corma's prebuilt connectors and intuitive setup process mean your existing IT team handles the full implementation independently — no consultants, no certifications, no extended timelines, regardless of the size or complexity of the application portfolio involved.

How is Keka employment and payroll data protected during integration?

Corma uses minimum necessary permission scopes, encrypts all stored credentials to enterprise-grade standards, and supports complete access revocation at any time — with every data flow between Keka and connected applications governed by rigorous security practices throughout.
