Secure your Gusto surface
Hire and termination records that drive access reviews, plus payroll data access scope. We don’t connect to Gusto to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.

Where Gusto goes wrong
Gusto goes wrong through timing: termination dates recorded after the fact leave access live during the window that matters most.
- Admin access to payroll and personal data beyond those who need it
- Termination dates recorded after the effective date
- API access tokens with broad company scope
- Contractor records maintained separately from employees
- Document storage holding identity documents without retention limits
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Gusto
On Gusto we treat termination timeliness as a security control rather than an HR administrative detail.
- Admin access reviewed against the sensitivity of payroll data
- Termination timeliness measured as a security control, not just an HR process
- Token scope tracked
- Contractor population reconciled with employee records
- Identity document retention aligned to your data policy
[03] Where It Lands
Where Gusto lands in your registers
HR data is what makes access review meaningful: every entitlement across every connected system is reconciled against the people who actually work here, so a leaver with live access is a finding within hours rather than at the next quarterly review. The asset register records the HR platform as a critical dependency holding significant personal data, and the risk register carries both the insider risk and the data protection exposure that comes with it.
[04] How We Engage
On Gusto specifically
On Gusto, we reconcile leaver records against connected system access and drive revocation. Access model changes we plan with your HR team.
Platform licence
Everything you need to find and fix it yourself, with no ceiling on the depth of the answer.
- Every connected tool monitored for misconfiguration and drift, with findings mapped to the assets and risks they affect
- Remediation guidance that tells you what is wrong and exactly how to fix it — however deep or awkward the issue is. We are engineers running a security company, so the answer is the real one, not a link to vendor documentation
- Assets, access reviews, and risk register populated from the tools themselves rather than from spreadsheets
- Unlimited integrations and unlimited users, with anything missing built within two weeks
Managed service
Every tool you connect through Konfirmity comes under our care, with our team doing the work.
- Continuous misconfiguration and drift monitoring across every connected tool, watched by our analysts rather than by a dashboard waiting for you
- Incident response led by us, with containment coordinated with your team
- Remediation performed directly wherever you have granted us the authority to act — and where we cannot act, we project-manage the fix to completion rather than handing you a ticket
- Decision support on the tools themselves: where something is failing you on capability or costing more than it returns, we will tell you, and help you replace it
[05] Gusto FAQs
What Gusto access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs oAuth read access to employees, contractors and company details. We use employment status and dates to drive access review. Payroll amounts and bank details are neither needed nor requested.
Do you cover contractors as well as employees?
Yes, and deliberately. Contractors are frequently maintained separately from employees and are the population access reviews most often miss, which means their access outlives their engagement more often than staff access does.
