PagerDuty

The Corma integration for PagerDuty brings PagerDuty accounts under Corma's access governance: IT controls who can configure services, respond to incidents and change on-call schedules, and removes that access when people change roles or leave. PagerDuty is an incident management platform used by engineering, IT and DevOps teams to monitor systems, manage alerts and coordinate incident response. It makes sure the right responders are notified when critical issues occur, which helps organizations reduce downtime and resolve incidents quickly.

Where does PagerDuty access management break down without integration?

As PagerDuty becomes central to operational reliability, access usually extends across engineering, SRE and support teams. That makes it essential to manage carefully who can configure services, respond to incidents and modify on-call schedules. Without integration, several risks appear:

• Manual onboarding slows incident readiness: IT teams must assign users to escalation policies and on-call schedules by hand, which delays readiness for new engineers.
• Access not aligned with role changes: when HR and identity systems are not connected, users may keep access to incident response tools beyond their current responsibilities, a common gap in the joiner-mover-leaver process.
• Former employees keeping on-call access: without automated offboarding, ex-employees may remain in escalation policies or keep receiving incident alerts.
• Over-permissioned access increases operational risk: manual role assignment can give users administrative permissions they do not need, against the principle of least privilege, which increases risk during incidents.
• Limited visibility into active responders: organizations often lack clear insight into who is active in on-call rotations or still assigned to services.

How Corma automates PagerDuty access control

• Correct incident access from day one: Corma provisions PagerDuty access from HR and identity provider data through automated provisioning, so engineers get the PagerDuty access their team requires.
• Offboarding with a handover step: when an employee leaves or changes roles, Corma removes their PagerDuty access, and the IT Workflow Builder can keep an approval step so a manager first reassigns their on-call schedules and escalation policies.
• Role-based access alignment: permissions stay synchronized, so users only reach the incident response tools relevant to their responsibilities.
• A record of every access change: each change to user access and roles is logged in an audit trail that supports compliance and operational auditing.
• Unified visibility into PagerDuty access: Corma brings HR data, identity provider information and PagerDuty activity into one dashboard, so teams can track who still has PagerDuty access and reduce risk.

Who benefits most from the Corma PagerDuty integration?

• SRE and DevOps teams managing system reliability and uptime.
• Engineering teams responsible for production services.
• IT operations teams handling incident response workflows.
• Security teams who need controlled access to critical infrastructure tools.

Frequently asked questions

How does Corma connect to PagerDuty?

Once PagerDuty and your identity provider are connected, Corma starts synchronizing access data and applies your provisioning and offboarding rules to PagerDuty accounts.

Do we need engineering support to implement this?

No. Corma uses pre-built connectors, so there is no custom development to do.

How is data security handled during integration?

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted on AWS in data centers inside the European Union and protected under ISO/IEC 27001:2022-certified security standards.
