Vanta integrates with PayFit to sync employee data for user provisioning and access management. This supports automated onboarding and offboarding workflows. By pulling real-time employment information, Vanta helps ensure that only current employees retain access to company systems, simplifying access reviews and supporting compliance requirements.

Estimated setup time: Less than 5 minutes

How It Works

The PayFit integration syncs your employee data from PayFit into Vanta using OAuth authentication. The integration provides read-only access to collaborators, contracts, and time data to automatically provision and de-provision users in Vanta.

  • Integration type: OAuth-based sync

  • Frequency: Real-time sync with automatic updates

  • Direction: One-way (PayFit → Vanta)

  • Data flow: Employee information is synced from PayFit to Vanta
