Third-party Workday integrations expose payroll and PII

Users integrate risky third-party employment and income verification apps with Workday, exposing sensitive data and increasing takeover risk.

Obsidian delivers the insights needed to reduce enterprise risk and mitigate threats in Workday.

Manual Workday reviews miss over-privileged roles and insider threats

DIY Workday audits miss data exposure, account takeover, and payroll theft risks caused by uncontrolled third-party access.

  • Lack of least-privilege controls exposes HR and payroll data through over privileged roles 
  • Former employees, contractors, or users with changed roles may retain IT system access they no longer need 
  • Limited Workday visibility leaves security blind to insider threats from departing employees

Obsidian brings visibility and security to sensitive data in Workday

  • Immediate, out-of-the-box value, with no agents to deploy or custom rules to write
  • Detect unusual behavior (e.g. suspicious logins, unauthorized direct deposit changes) before it escalates
  • Confirm offboarding processes fully disable all terminated user accounts
  • Flag lingering privileged access for former users or risky third-party integrations
