SaaS Security and Governance
How it works
  • What is SaaS Discovery?
    SaaS Discovery is the process of identifying and cataloging all the SaaS applications used within an organization, including both managed and unmanaged accounts. It helps in understanding the extent of SaaS usage, detecting shadow IT, and ensuring compliance with security policies. By utilizing SaaS Discovery, businesses can gain visibility into their SaaS ecosystem, manage risks, and streamline their security posture. This comprehensive approach allows organizations to uncover hidden applications, monitor their usage, and address any security or compliance issues promptly. Waldo Security provides automated SaaS Discovery to help organizations efficiently monitor and secure their SaaS applications.
  • What is SaaS Sprawl?
    SaaS Sprawl refers to the uncontrolled proliferation of SaaS applications within an organization. This can happen when multiple departments or teams independently adopt different SaaS solutions without centralized oversight or management. SaaS Sprawl can lead to increased security risks, higher costs, and compliance challenges due to the need for more visibility and control over the applications being used. Managing SaaS Sprawl involves identifying all SaaS applications, assessing their necessity, and consolidating or eliminating redundant or unauthorized ones. Waldo Security helps organizations tackle SaaS Sprawl by providing tools to effectively discover, monitor, and manage their entire SaaS ecosystem.
  • How can you offboard unmanaged identities?
    Offboarding unmanaged identities involves identifying and revoking access for users who no longer need it, such as former employees or contractors. The process begins with discovering all active identities across your SaaS applications, including unmanaged or not centrally controlled. Once identified, automated workflows revoke access to targeted applications and services, ensuring no unauthorized users retain access. This reduces security risks and helps maintain compliance with internal policies and external regulations. Waldo Security provides tools and automated processes to streamline the offboarding of unmanaged identities, enhancing your organization's overall security posture.
  • What is SaaS Security Management?
    SaaS Security Management protects and manages the security of all Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications within an organization. This involves monitoring and controlling access to SaaS applications, ensuring compliance with security policies and regulations, and detecting and responding to security threats. Effective SaaS Security Management includes identifying all SaaS applications, assessing their security posture, and implementing measures to safeguard sensitive data and user information. It also involves continuous monitoring and automated processes to address vulnerabilities and mitigate risks. Waldo Security offers comprehensive solutions for SaaS Security Management, helping organizations maintain a secure and compliant SaaS environment.
  • What is Cloud Governance?
    Cloud Governance is the framework of policies, procedures, and technologies used to effectively manage and control cloud computing resources. It ensures that an organization's cloud usage aligns with its business goals, security requirements, and regulatory compliance standards. Cloud Governance involves defining roles and responsibilities, implementing access controls, and monitoring resource utilization to prevent unauthorized access and cost overruns. It also includes continuous assessment and optimization of cloud environments to maintain security and efficiency. Waldo Security provides tools and strategies for robust Cloud Governance, helping organizations maintain control and visibility over their cloud infrastructure.
  • What is Shadow SaaS Offboarding?
    Shadow SaaS Offboarding identifies and removes access to unauthorized or unmanaged SaaS applications that employees have adopted without IT department approval. These shadow SaaS applications can pose significant security risks and compliance issues due to the lack of oversight and control. Offboarding involves discovering these hidden applications, assessing their use and necessity, and revoking access for users who no longer need it. This helps to eliminate security vulnerabilities and ensure that all SaaS usage within the organization is properly managed and compliant with policies. Waldo Security provides automated solutions to streamline the offboarding of shadow SaaS, enhancing overall security and governance.
  • What is SaaS Compliance Enforcement?
    SaaS Compliance Enforcement ensures that all SaaS applications within an organization adhere to relevant regulatory standards and internal security policies. This involves continuous monitoring and auditing of SaaS usage to identify any compliance gaps or violations. Compliance enforcement includes implementing automated controls and workflows to enforce policies, such as access management, data protection, and incident response procedures. It helps organizations mitigate risks, avoid legal penalties, and maintain the integrity of their data. Waldo Security provides tools and automation to effectively enforce SaaS compliance, ensuring your SaaS environment remains secure and compliant with industry standards.
  • What is SaaS Security?
    SaaS Security refers to protecting the use of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications within a business. SaaS Security involves managing security risks associated with the increasing use of cloud-based apps, particularly those adopted without IT oversight, known as "Shadow IT." Key aspects of SaaS Security include creating a security map to track all apps, clarifying responsibility for managing these tools, aligning them with company policies and regulations, and ongoing monitoring to ensure apps remain secure. Additionally, posture management tools help safeguard configurations and prevent security risks as the business grows.
  • What is SaaS Governance?
    SaaS Governance is the framework and set of practices organizations use to manage, control, and optimize their SaaS (Software as a Service) applications. It includes SaaS Discovery, which helps identify all SaaS applications used across the organization, and SaaS Security Assessment, which evaluates the security and compliance of these applications. SaaS Governance also involves implementing policies, procedures, and oversight to ensure SaaS usage aligns with business objectives, data security requirements, and compliance standards. This governance approach helps organizations prevent "SaaS sprawl" — the unchecked growth of applications — by establishing clear guidelines for the acquisition, usage, and management of SaaS apps, ultimately supporting risk mitigation, cost control, and a strengthened security posture.
  • What is SaaS Asset Management?
    SaaS Asset Management is the process of tracking, managing, and optimizing all Software as a Service (SaaS) applications within an organization. It includes identifying and cataloging all SaaS applications in use (often through SaaS Discovery), monitoring subscription costs, managing user access, and ensuring compliance with licensing agreements. SaaS Asset Management helps organizations control expenses, reduce redundant applications, and enhance security by ensuring only approved and secure SaaS applications are used. Effective management involves regular audits, usage analysis, and integration with SaaS Governance practices to align SaaS usage with business goals, security requirements, and compliance standards.
