Security audit

Zoho People

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed Zoho People HR integration that can read and change sensitive HR records through Maton, but the behavior matches its stated purpose and includes user-approval guidance for writes.

Install only if you trust Maton to broker access to your Zoho People account. Use the least-privileged Zoho connection available, specify the intended connection when multiple accounts exist, avoid broad employee exports unless necessary, and review every create, update, or delete action before approving it.
