Checks that offboarded users no longer have active Google Workspace access.

​
About

When you connect Google Workspace to DSALTA, the platform syncs your users, roles, and access settings using read-only API access. DSALTA evaluates this control on every sync. If the requirement is not met, DSALTA activates this check.

​
Why This Matters

When someone leaves and their access is not revoked, their credentials become an unmonitored door into your systems — a common cause of data theft and accidental damage. Timely access removal on termination is explicitly required by SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.

​
How to Fix

Before you begin
  • Identify all offboarded employees by cross-referencing your HRMS (or the DSALTA People module) with active Google Workspace accounts.
  • Ensure you have administrator access to Google Workspace.
Revoke access for offboarded users
  1. In Google Workspace, locate each offboarded user’s account.
  2. Disable or delete the account so it can no longer authenticate.
  3. Revoke any API keys, tokens, or service credentials tied to that user.
  4. Remove the user from all groups, roles, and shared resources.
  5. To automate this going forward, connect your HRMS to DSALTA so that an “Offboarded” status automatically flags any lingering access.
Once the offboarded users no longer have active access, DSALTA retrieves the change on the next sync and sets the check status to Passing.

Frequently Asked Questions

This check runs automatically every 24 hours while the Google Workspace integration is connected. You can also trigger a manual sync from Integrations in the sidebar.
A failing check appears in your Data Library → Tests dashboard. Work through the steps above; once the underlying configuration is fixed, the status updates automatically on the next sync.
Yes. If it does not apply to your environment, mark it as Not Applicable with a justification. The exclusion is documented for auditors.
No. DSALTA uses read-only API access and never modifies, creates, or deletes resources. All remediation is performed by your team directly in Google Workspace.
