The State of HR Tenant Health 2026
Aggregate findings from hundreds of enterprise scans across Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Oracle HCM. The clearest picture yet of where every HR tenant is most at risk — and what it costs to ignore it.
The State of
HR Tenant Health
Workday · SuccessFactors · Oracle HCM
Every enterprise HR tenant has at least one Critical finding.
Across every tenant Yoetz.ai scanned in 2025–2026, 100% had at least one Critical finding waiting in production. The median tenant had a health score of 58 / 100 — and was paying $280K a year in consulting fees to not be told about it.

“The average HRIS team is paying $280K a year for what amounts to a once-a-year audit. That model is finished.”

Education tenants run on the smallest HRIS budgets and the longest release cycles — and it shows. 81% had at least one Critical security finding.
Public sector tenants carried the most dormant accounts and the highest rate of expired integration credentials in the dataset.
“AI activation is not a feature flag. 77% of tenants are not ready for Illuminate or Joule today.”
How the data was collected
Findings were aggregated from Yoetz.ai automated scans across enterprise tenants between January 2025 and April 2026. All tenant identifiers were stripped before aggregation. Counts reflect the percentage of tenants in which the finding was present at scan time. The Yoetz.ai engine connects via read-only OAuth and inspects every security group, business process, integration, calculated field, and configuration object exposed by the platform's REST and SOAP APIs.
What this means for HRIS leaders
- • Run a baseline scan now. You almost certainly have Critical findings sitting in production right now.
- • Prioritise ISU right-sizing first. It's the single highest-impact remediation in any HR tenant.
- • Subscribe alerts to every scheduled integration. 68% of tenants have at least one failing integration with no subscriber.
- • Pre-audit the next platform release four weeks before update weekend.
- • Make tenant health a quarterly board KPI, not an annual audit cycle.
- • Stop paying $280K a year for a yearly audit. Continuous monitoring costs a fraction.
