Proofpoint

The Corma integration for Proofpoint brings Proofpoint accounts under Corma's access governance: IT knows who can reach your email security consoles and threat investigation tools, and removes that access when people change roles or leave. Proofpoint is an enterprise cybersecurity platform focused on protecting organizations from email-based threats such as phishing, malware, business email compromise and data loss. Security teams use it to secure communication channels, monitor threats and enforce policies around email safety and information protection.

Where does Proofpoint access management break down without integration?

Email remains one of the primary attack vectors for organizations, so Proofpoint is often a critical layer in the security stack. Access to its administrative and security controls needs tight identity governance.

• Manual onboarding delays security readiness: IT teams must provision accounts for security and IT staff by hand, which slows down access to threat monitoring tools.
• Access not aligned with role changes: when HR and identity systems are not connected, users can keep access to security dashboards and threat response tools beyond their responsibilities.
• Former employees keeping access to security systems: without automated deprovisioning, ex-employees may still reach email security consoles and threat investigation tools.
• Over-permissioned access increases security risk: manual role assignment can lead to excessive administrative privileges, against the principle of least privilege, and raise the risk of misuse or misconfiguration.
• Limited visibility into console usage: organizations often lack a clear view of who actively uses Proofpoint, which makes governance and auditing harder.

How Corma automates Proofpoint access control

• Correct access from day one: Corma provisions Proofpoint access from HR and identity provider data, so security teams are operational as soon as they start.
• Offboarding and access revocation: when an employee leaves or changes roles, Corma removes their access to Proofpoint consoles and security tools.
• Role-based access alignment: permissions stay synchronized, so users only reach the security functions relevant to their responsibilities.
• A complete audit trail: every provisioning event, role update and removal is logged automatically in an audit trail that supports SOC 2, ISO 27001 and security audits.
• Unified visibility into security access: Corma brings HR data, identity provider information and Proofpoint activity into one dashboard, which helps teams find inactive users and reduce security risk.

• Compliance teams who need audit-ready access controls.

Frequently asked questions

How does Corma connect to Proofpoint?

Corma connects to Proofpoint through a pre-built connector. Once your identity provider is connected as well, synchronization begins and your access rules apply to Proofpoint accounts.

Do we need engineering support to implement this?

No. Corma uses pre-built connectors, so no custom development is needed.

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.
