GRC evidence available

  • Privileged account inventory
  • Session recording coverage
  • JIT activation audit logs
  • Vault credential rotation status
  • Session brokering metrics and configuration evidence
  • Dynamic credentials metrics and configuration evidence

Prerequisites

  • Named integration owner and backup contact at Propel Ready Solutions
  • Change request approved per Propel Ready Solutions change management policy
  • Network egress allowlisting completed if required by vendor
  • ComplAI organization administrator access
  • Admin or integration-builder role in HashiCorp Boundary
  • HashiCorp Boundary product documentation reviewed (see Documentation topics below)

Integration process

  1. Step 1

    Plan HashiCorp Boundary integration scope

    Confirm which Session brokering and Dynamic credentials capabilities will be connected first. Start with read-only ingestion before enabling write actions.

  2. Step 2

    Inventory privileged accounts and vaults

    Document all privileged systems, break-glass accounts, and vault coverage scope in ComplAI.

  3. Step 3

    Configure PAM platform API access

    Create read-only API credentials for session metadata, vault inventory, and activation audit logs.

  4. Step 4

    Enable session recording and JIT policies

    Verify session monitoring, approval workflows, and time-bound elevation are enforced for admin access.

  5. Step 5

    Map to access review cycles

    Include privileged access recertification in quarterly entitlement reviews and leadership reporting.

  6. Step 6

    Mark integration complete in ComplAI

    Update integration status to Connected, attach configuration evidence, and link mapped controls in the Controls library.

GRC benefits

  • Privileged access evidence for ISO A.8.2 and SOC 2 CC6.1–CC6.3
  • Session audit trails for incident investigation and regulator requests
  • JIT elevation metrics for least-privilege enforcement programs

Verification checklist

  • ☐Integration credentials stored securely and rotation scheduled
  • ☐Test sync completed successfully with sample records
  • ☐Error alerting configured for failed sync or API rate limits
  • ☐Control mappings documented in ComplAI
  • ☐Evidence sample exported and reviewed by control owner
  • ☐Runbook link attached to related controls

Troubleshooting

Authentication or API permission errors

Verify API scopes, token expiry, and service account status in the vendor admin console. Regenerate credentials if needed.

Partial or stale data in ComplAI

Check sync schedule, pagination limits, and filter rules. Run a full reconciliation sync after correcting configuration.

Network connectivity failures

Confirm firewall egress rules, proxy settings, and IP allowlists on both sides of the integration.
