Integrate Okta with DataGrail
Govern identity data for privacy requests without weakening access controls.
Okta is the backbone of identity across your organization. It determines who can access systems, when accounts are activated or removed, and how identities are managed across applications. That makes Okta one of the most sensitive systems touched by a privacy program.
DataGrail integrates with Okta to help privacy teams address identity-related requests accurately, while preserving the security posture and operational boundaries Okta admins rely on.
How does DataGrail integrate with Okta?
DataGrail connects to Okta using a scoped, identity-aware integration designed specifically for privacy operations.
Privacy teams can process access and deletion requests involving Okta data through DataGrail’s centralized workflows, while Okta admins retain control over lifecycle policies, authentication, and provisioning.
With DataGrail, teams can:
- Respond to privacy requests tied to Okta user identities
- Maintain read-only visibility for access requests and discovery
- Enforce controlled deletion workflows where appropriate
- Keep identity systems documented as part of a living data map
- Discover and map shadow IT saved to individual logins
- Provision access to privacy operations via single-sign on
This approach ensures privacy obligations are met without introducing risk into authentication or access management.

The problem this integration solves
Identity systems like Okta sit at the intersection of privacy, security, and access control. Privacy requests involving identity data raise questions that security systems aren’t designed to answer alone.
When a privacy request touches Okta, teams must answer questions that don’t apply to most systems:
- What identity attributes are appropriate to disclose?
- When does deletion conflict with security or audit requirements?
- How do you prove compliance without modifying IAM behavior?
- Who owns the decision? Privacy, security, or IT?
In many organizations, these questions lead to stalled requests, manual reviews, or one-off exceptions. DataGrail replaces that uncertainty with a consistent, defensible process for handling identity data in privacy workflows.
Why teams choose DataGrail for Okta
Identity-aware by design
DataGrail treats Okta as an identity authority, not a general-purpose database. Privacy actions respect how identity data is used across the organization.
Minimal operational footprint
Read-only access supports discovery and access requests, reducing risk and keeping Okta configurations intact.
Clear separation of responsibilities
Privacy teams manage regulatory workflows. Okta admins manage identity. Each team stays in its lane.
Audit-ready visibility
Okta is continuously reflected in the Live Data Map, providing clear documentation for audits, regulators, and internal reviews.
