SaaS security

which apps reach your internal data?

Teams adopt tools faster than any process can track them, so apps hold your data with no record in the directory. We help you see every app, govern the access inside it, and keep it from sprawling again.

We audit environments built on

83%

still have access to a former employer's account

Beyond Identity

99%

of account-compromise attacks blocked by MFA

Microsoft

47%

of users have elevated privileges unnecessary for their roles

Beyond Identity

start with the question

Every growing company acquires apps the same way. Marketing connects a tool, sales adds a CRM, a developer wires an integration mid-project. Each choice makes sense on the day it's made.

‍The directory never records most of it. Adoption outpaces governance, and the OAuth grant outlives the reason it was created, often along with the person who created it.

‍You can't govern what you can't see. The work starts with finding what's actually there. Below are the recurring versions of the problem. Start wherever matches what you're seeing.

the apps you can't see

The most consistent failure point in access is the day someone leaves, when a removal is meant to happen and so often doesn't.

Shadow SaaS

The gap between the tools your organization sanctions and the ones employees actually use. How it forms, what it exposes, and how to find it.

Apps outside SSO

Tools that bypass your identity provider keep independent logins. Offboarding and MFA enforcement do not reach them without separate manual work.

SaaS application registry

The inventory every other SaaS control depends on. What a registry must capture, why the gap grows with each adoption, and how to build one.

OAuth grants and scopes

Apps connect to apps through standing tokens. Nobody reviews them, and they don't expire.

OAuth grant audit

OAuth grants persist until someone revokes them. The audit maps every active grant, its scope, and its owner, then clears the backlog.

OAuth scope creep

Vendors request broad scopes, users click Allow, and nobody narrows the grant later. How excess permissions build up and how to cut them back.

SaaS-to-SaaS integrations

Integrations run in the background on credentials nobody monitors. They outlive the tools that created them and keep their access until revoked.

Browser extensions

Extensions sit outside OAuth lists and IdP consoles but can read what employees see and type. How to inventory them and govern the permissions.

No-code automation sprawl

Automations move company data between systems on credentials no one reviews, owned by whoever built them. Why workflow sprawl is access sprawl, and how to govern it.

access that lingers

Your largest identity population isn't your workforce. Machine identities outnumber human ones by roughly 82 to 1, and nearly half hold privileged access (CyberArk, 2025).

SaaS offboarding

Deactivating the directory account leaves independent app logins and OAuth grants alive. How to find and close the accounts offboarding missed.

Abandoned SaaS trials

Every tool you tested and rejected may have left an account behind. What abandoned trials expose and how to close them for good.

SCIM provisioning

Apps without SCIM rely on someone remembering to act at every JML event. Where the automation gaps form and how to close them by priority.

SaaS data backup

Google and Microsoft give you weeks, not backups. The shared-responsibility gap, what the retention windows really are, and what recoverable means for ransomware.

Vendor decommissioning

Offboarding a vendor is more than non-renewal: revoke their access, get your data back or deleted per GDPR Art. 28, and kill the integrations. The checklist.

waste and duplication

Your largest identity population isn't your workforce. Machine identities outnumber human ones by roughly 82 to 1, and nearly half hold privileged access (CyberArk, 2025).

SaaS spend waste

Unused licenses are also unwatched accounts. The cost problem and the access problem share one root cause: no central view of the stack.

Duplicate SaaS tools

Two departments, two vendors, one function. The same data spreads across both, with double the agreements and an uneven security posture.

the other blind spots

Former employees still have the keys. Contractors and leavers keep authenticating months after they left. 83% of former employees keep access to at least one company app after leaving (Beyond Identity).

Your highest privilege sits behind a password alone. Admin accounts run without MFA, and the use of stolen credentials was involved in 36% of breaches (Verizon DBIR 2026). A shared admin login is worse, because when something happens, you cannot say who was behind it.

Nobody owns the service accounts. Technical accounts created for forgotten projects still hold broad access, assigned to no one and reviewed by no one.

Access outlived the job. A role change added new permissions and removed none, so people carry access several jobs deep.

This is the layer to see first, before you spend any money on a pentest, a compliance certification, or an identity platform.

You cannot fix, certify, or defend access you cannot see.

let's start with a conversation

Most first conversations start with not quite knowing what you have or where to begin. That's normal, and it's exactly where we're useful.

Tell us what prompted this. An upcoming audit, an incident, a client's security questionnaire, or just a sense that things have gotten messy.

We'll take it from there
