Hyperproof uses Merge, a third-party API, to retrieve data from HRIS apps. Hyperproof uses the Employees, Employments, and Groups scopes. If you are interested in learning more about the permissions needed for HRIS Hypersyncs that use Merge, refer to the Merge Authentication Guides page in their Help Center.
Note: This Hypersync is not supported in Hyperproof Gov.
When you configure a Hypersync for Fourth on a control or label, you can automatically collect the following proof types:
Fourth proof types and fields
Proof type | Fields | Testable |
Employees with Change in Employment Status | Name, Department, Title, Start Date, End Date | Yes |
List of Employees | Name, Department, Title, Start Date, End Date | Yes |
This Hypersync supports importing a company directory for an access review. See Importing a directory with a Hypersync for more information.
Blocking sensitive data
When Hyperproof connects to a Merge Hypersync, we intentionally minimize data exposure and follow least-privilege principles. Sensitive data can't be blocked entirely from within Hyperproof; it can only be blocked at the source. We recommend working with the System Administrator for the app you are accessing to configure a service account specifically for Hyperproof with access only to the data you need the Hypersync to collect.
Requirements
To connect to Fourth and collect proof, your Fourth configuration must meet the following requirements.
Organization ID - Log in to your Fourth Global Profile to view your account details, which include the unique 18-digit identifier.
Note: Hyperproof connects to many third-party systems that frequently change, including the system interface. Contact your System Administrator or the third-party provider for assistance in meeting the requirements to integrate with Hyperproof and collect the proof you need.
Connection configuration
Authentication type: Custom
Custom authentication parameters: Organization ID, Username, Password
When you configure a Hypersync for Fourth for the first time, you must provide the following information:
Organization ID
Username
Password
The first time you run this Hypersync, it may take up to 24 hours to load all employee data.
Note: You only need to connect Hyperproof to the app once, and then you can create as many Hypersyncs as you need.
Additionally, you can create multiple Hypersyncs for a single control or label.
