Shadow IT Risk Management

Mitigate risks from shadow IT and SaaS sprawl by gaining full visibility into all SaaS applications. Controlling and maintaining SaaS security begins with identifying unauthorized applications within a cloud environment.
SHADOW IT

Eliminate Blind Spots

SaaS Discovery & Visibility

Discover all SaaS apps (sanctioned or not) and receive contextual insights into access levels and vendor security for effective risk mitigation.

Context & Prioritization

Evaluate your SaaS ecosystem, its compliance standards, app supply chain connectivity, data handling, AI practices, and past security breaches.

Remediation & Control

Keep tabs on SaaS vendors for security and privacy compliance drifts. Before onboarding new apps, perform third-party vendor assessments, all in a click.

Unseen Access Points

Shadow IT

The unauthorized use of SaaS applications by employees without the knowledge or approval of the IT or security teams. These apps, although often essential for employees and business operations, bypass basic security protocols and pose significant risks to your organization.

SaaS Sprawl

SaaS sprawl happens when the number of SaaS applications in use by employees grows uncontrollably, leading to increased complexity and difficulty for IT and security teams in managing SaaS security, permissions, and orphaned applications.

Why It Matters

Expanded Attack Surface

Every unsanctioned SaaS app adds new weaknesses to the organization’s security posture, increases the attack surface, and exposes sensitive data to cyber threats. These apps are often not monitored, allowing attackers to exploit them as weak access points, potentially leading to security breaches.

Data Compliance Violations

Shadow IT and SaaS sprawl often lead to the loss of visibility and control over where sensitive data is stored, accessed, or shared. This makes it difficult for security teams to ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001. Unapproved apps may not meet the required security standards, resulting in costly fines and reputational damage.

Operational Inefficiency

SaaS sprawl creates inefficiencies and redundancies, with teams using overlapping apps for the same functions. This lack of coordination creates operational inefficiencies, drives up costs, and hampers collaboration, as data is scattered across multiple apps that aren’t integrated into the company’s IT structure.
