Checks that everyone with WorkOS access is an active employee on the People page.

​
About

Access to your organization’s identity platform must be limited to current, authorized employees. DSALTA compares the users on the WorkOS Access page against your People directory, matched by email within your organization. The check passes when every WorkOS user is an active employee on the People page. DSALTA re-evaluates this control on every sync.

​
Why This Matters

Access tends to accumulate over time as roles change, leaving people with more than they need. Excess access to your identity platform widens your attack surface and breaks the principle of least privilege. Regularly validating who can reach critical systems is a core control in SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

​
How to Fix

Before you begin
  • Ensure the WorkOS integration is connected so DSALTA has the current list of users.
  • Confirm your People directory in DSALTA is up to date, since the check matches WorkOS users to People records by email.
Review WorkOS access
  1. In the WorkOS Dashboard, go to Users and remove anyone who is not a current employee.
  2. In DSALTA, go to People and confirm each WorkOS user exists and is active.
  3. For any WorkOS user with no matching active person, either add or correct their People record, or remove their WorkOS access.
  4. Set a recurring access review schedule (quarterly is recommended).
Once every WorkOS user maps to an active employee on the People page, DSALTA retrieves the change on the next sync and sets the check status to Passing.
