Secure BambooHR browsing

Secure BambooHR browsing means protecting HR workflows and employee data from phishing, session theft, and accidental leakage in browser-based HR operations.

Quick answer

Legba can isolate browser sessions while your team uses BambooHR.

HR systems contain sensitive employee data. Isolation helps reduce exposure when HR teams follow links and open external portals during BambooHR workflows.

This page does not imply an official integration with BambooHR—it’s a guide to securing browser workflows around the app.

When you need this

Your team uses BambooHR in a browser every day.
You want to reduce phishing, malicious downloads, and session theft without slowing users down.
You need role-based policies for employees, admins, and contractors.
