A true-to-life SaaS security story: how a retired engineer’s cloud access lived on long after offboarding — and what it reveals about unseen identity risks in modern organizations.

Most organizations believe they use a few dozen SaaS apps. In reality, the number is often 10–20× higher. Here’s why that gap matters for security and compliance.

Not every app that “supports SSO” is secure. Here’s what security teams get wrong about single sign-on — and how SaaS sprawl turns convenience into risk.

A simple 10-minute checklist CISOs and security teams can use to classify SaaS risks before the next audit or incident response call.

Most privacy and security risks don’t come from bad actors — they come from what IT can’t see. Here’s why visibility gaps are breaking compliance and budgets in 2025.

How Cybersecurity Budgets Are Getting Eaten by SaaS Sprawl If your security spend keeps growing while risk doesn’t budge, you’re probably financing the wrong thing: SaaS sprawl.  There are simply more apps, more tokens, and more shadow tenants than your catalog admits. Waldo Security  gives you the truth map first—we discover every SaaS app, tenant, account, and OAuth grant in minutes , flag SSO/MFA bypasses and risky consents, and export audit-ready evidence . Start with Ins

SaaS Risk Big idea:  You don’t need a six-month program to get control—you need a fast, repeatable way to rank what’s riskiest right now. Waldo Security  gives you that head start: we discover every SaaS app, tenant, account, and OAuth grant in minutes , auto-flag SSO gaps and risky OAuth scopes, then export audit-ready evidence . If you want the “easy button,” start with Instant SaaS Discovery  and ship your packet from the SaaS Compliance Overview . 1) Five Questions That S

SaaS Discovery Short version:  your app catalog is lying to you. After 10,000+ discovery runs, the same patterns show up: entire tenants nobody owns, OAuth apps with durable tokens, and AI tools running under personal identities. Waldo Security gives you the truth map in minutes —we discover every SaaS app, tenant, account, and OAuth grant , flag SSO/MFA gaps and risky scopes, and export audit-ready evidence . Start with Instant SaaS Discovery  and keep proof tidy with the Sa

The OAuth Permission That Could Compromise Your Entire Org If your SaaS estate “supports SSO” but still leaks data, the culprit is often one word: offline_access . That single OAuth permission mints refresh tokens —long-lived keys that keep apps connected after  password resets and user departures. Waldo Security finds these in minutes : we discover every SaaS app, tenant, account, and OAuth grant , flag durable tokens and risky scopes, and export audit-ready evidence . Start

SSPM vs. DSPM: What Security Teams Actually Need If you start with data scanners or posture checks before you know what services even exist, you’ll miss the real risk.   Waldo Security  gives you the ground truth first—we discover every SaaS app, tenant, account, and OAuth grant in minutes , flag SSO/MFA gaps, risky scopes, and export audit-ready evidence . Begin with Instant SaaS Discovery ; keep auditors happy with the SaaS Compliance Overview . Executive takeaway (for the

You can’t govern what you don’t see. In most companies, each department quietly multiplies identities and services far beyond what IT or GRC expects . Waldo Security gives you the ground truth —we discover every SaaS app, tenant, account, and OAuth grant in minutes , flag SSO/MFA gaps and risky tokens, and export audit-ready evidence  your auditors actually accept. Start with Instant SaaS Discovery , then turn findings into clean proof with the SaaS Compliance Overview . Why

Your controls can pass an audit and still miss half your SaaS estate.  Frameworks tell you what  to govern; shadow IT decides where  governance must apply. Waldo Security gives you the map first —we discover every SaaS app, tenant, account, and OAuth grant in minutes , flag SSO/MFA gaps and risky consents, then export audit-ready evidence . Start with Instant SaaS Discovery  and package proof via the SaaS Compliance Overview . The quiet mismatch: GRC assumes scoping is solved
