Recommended Actions

  1. PRIORITY 1 — Complete sanctions screening manually: Since automated sanctions screening was unavailable, run Rippling (and its parent entity Rippling People Center, Inc.) through the OFAC SDN search tool at https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/ and the EU consolidated sanctions list. Document the search date and results in your TPSP file.
  2. PRIORITY 2 — Obtain and review the SOC 2 Type II report: Contact Rippling's security team via their trust portal (https://trust.rippling.com) or email security@rippling.com to request the current SOC 2 Type II report under NDA. Verify that HR data processing, payroll processing, and any components relevant to your CDE are explicitly within scope. Flag any exceptions noted by the auditor for remediation tracking.
  3. PRIORITY 3 — Execute a Data Processing Agreement / Service Provider Addendum: For CCPA compliance, obtain Rippling's signed Service Provider Addendum that explicitly prohibits the sale or sharing of California consumer personal information. For GDPR, obtain a Data Processing Agreement covering EU employee data. Both documents should be retained in your vendor contract file. Rippling's legal team can be engaged via https://rippling.com/legal.

Frequently asked about Rippling

Is Rippling safe to use as a vendor?+
Rippling can be evaluated for vendor safety by checking sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), verifying business registration through legal entity registries like GLEIF, scanning for adverse media coverage including data breaches and regulatory actions, and assessing domain security and cyber risk posture. ThirdProof automates this entire investigation across 24 intelligence sources and produces a deterministic risk tier (1-5 scale) with a confidence score. Run a free investigation to see Rippling's full risk profile.
Does Rippling have SOC 2 certification?+
To verify whether Rippling holds SOC 2 certification, ThirdProof scans the vendor's trust page and security documentation for certification claims, then cross-references those claims against independent registries where available (such as the FedRAMP Marketplace for FedRAMP authorization). Certifications are classified as independently verified, vendor attested, or not found in evidence — ensuring you know the verification level of each claim.
Is Rippling FedRAMP authorized?+
Based on ThirdProof's investigation, Rippling is not currently listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. Organizations with federal compliance requirements should verify this directly and consider alternative vendors with FedRAMP authorization where required.
Has Rippling had any data breaches?+
ThirdProof's adverse media analysis searches multiple news APIs and public records for data breaches, security incidents, lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, and financial distress signals involving Rippling. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification. The investigation also checks SEC EDGAR for enforcement-related filings and FDIC records for financial institution failures, providing a comprehensive public record review.
Is Rippling on any sanctions lists?+
ThirdProof screens Rippling against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives from similar names. If Rippling or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers an automatic escalation to the highest risk tier. No sanctions match is confirmed through a clean screening report in the investigation output.
How do I assess Rippling for vendor risk?+
