Purpose

Once you set up your compliance program, TrustOps works to ensure that your systems remain compliant with your adopted controls. To do so, TrustCloud runs automated tests against systems in your product and business stack and verifies that they are properly configured.

This document outlines the steps you can take to grant TrustCloud access to only read metadata about the configuration settings for your Paylocity account so that TrustOps can validate and generate evidence for your compliance program.

It maintains an open API framework that allows you to integrate with the system via OAuth2. This requires you to get the ‘OAuth Client ID’ and ‘Client Secret’.

  2. While filling out the form, please select ‘Request Type’ as Production and select ‘Get Employee with Restricted Access’ under the ‘Open API Access’ section. Refer to the following screenshot for more information.
