The Problem

SMBs use 50-100+ SaaS apps but lack the security staff and budget to audit configurations, leaving sensitive data exposed through misconfigured sharing settings, overprivileged accounts, and shadow IT.

The Solution

An affordable, self-service SSPM platform that auto-discovers all SaaS apps in use, continuously audits configurations against best practices, and provides one-click remediation workflows without requiring a dedicated security team.

Executive Summary

A lightweight SaaS security posture management platform designed specifically for SMBs that lack dedicated security teams. Continuously monitors SaaS app configurations across Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, and dozens of other tools to detect misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and shadow SaaS usage.
