#1 Deactivated User vs Terminated User 100% likely

📋 How to Diagnose

  1. 1. Vanta looks for 'Terminated' status in HRIS to match 'Deactivated' in Salesforce.
  2. 2. If an admin freezes a user instead of deactivating, Vanta sees an active account for a terminated employee.

✓ Solution

Automate offboarding. Use n8n to listen for HRIS termination events and immediately call the Salesforce API to deactivate the user, ensuring Vanta stays green.
