SaaS Governance & Compliance Overview
In modern organizations, adopting SaaS and maintaining compliance go hand in hand. Adhering to industry regulations and internal policies safeguards sensitive data, prevents legal penalties, and builds stakeholder trust. However, achieving a comprehensive view of SaaS compliance is challenging due to the decentralized nature of SaaS adoption across various departments. This dispersion often leads to limited visibility and control over the numerous applications in use, complicating the consistent monitoring and enforcement of compliance standards.
Understand your SaaS environment
Get full visibility
Waldo Security offers unmatched visibility across your entire SaaS environment, allowing you to monitor all activities, detect unauthorized access, track shadow accounts, and identify potential threats. In addition to tracking activity, Waldo Security evaluates the compliance and certifications of each identified SaaS application, giving you insights into standards like SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, and more. This level of transparency is crucial for SaaS Governance and proactive risk management, as it allows organizations to identify and address vulnerabilities before they escalate. With this complete oversight, you can ensure regulatory compliance and maintain optimal system performance, empowering you to control your SaaS applications and accounts with confidence.
Detect unmanaged accounts
Waldo Security provides the tools needed to identify unmanaged or unknown accounts, allowing your organization to assess these accounts’ usage and potential risks. Detecting previously unknown accounts supports effective SaaS Management and helps reduce SaaS Sprawl by consolidating unnecessary accounts. By identifying unmanaged accounts, Waldo Security enables you to expand SSO (Single Sign-On) coverage and implement MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) more broadly, ensuring a secure and cohesive environment. This proactive approach enhances your organization’s SaaS Security posture, minimizes unauthorized access, and maintains compliance across all applications.
Ensure Compliance Alignment
Identify Policy Violations
Compliance alignment is a core part of maintaining a secure and governed SaaS environment. Waldo Security offers tools to verify that your SaaS usage aligns with internal policies and meets industry standards, including certifications such as ISO27001, PCI, HIPAA, and more. By flagging non-compliant applications or accounts—such as those lacking SSO or adequate authentication measures—Waldo Security helps ensure that your organization can quickly address compliance gaps and adhere to regulatory standards. This alignment is critical for effective SaaS Governance, supporting secure, policy-compliant operations across all SaaS applications.
Ensure Alignment with Compliances
Waldo Security enables you to detect policy violations, which occur when users or accounts fail to follow established SaaS Security protocols. Examples of these violations include unauthorized access, weak passwords, and inadequate authentication measures. Through real-time monitoring, Waldo Security identifies these violations quickly, allowing IT teams to enforce security standards and reduce potential risks. This capability is essential for strong SaaS Governance, as it ensures that all applications and accounts operate within the organization’s security framework.
Offload rouge unapproved accounts and services
Rogue or unapproved accounts can introduce significant security vulnerabilities, especially if they are not governed by organizational policies. Waldo Security proactively detects and offloads these unauthorized accounts, providing organizations with the control needed to reduce SaaS Sprawl and eliminate potential entry points for cyber threats. By removing rogue accounts and unapproved services, Waldo Security strengthens SaaS Management and SaaS Governance, ensuring that only authorized users and applications have access to your environment. This proactive approach not only enhances SaaS Security but also simplifies compliance management, making it easier to maintain a secure, compliant ecosystem.
