Reducing Risks And Threats With Continuous SaaS Compliance
Security Boulevard, March 31st, 2023
CISOs and GRC officers are quickly recognizing the growing threats posed by misconfigured SaaS applications and integrations between SaaS apps. On average, 30% percent of corporate sensitive data now is processed or resides in SaaS applications like Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and more.
One of the vexing challenges facing security and GRC teams is that even when companies establish tight security controls within SaaS, it is really hard for them to know how and where those policies are being followed. Additionally, many businesses still monitor their controls manually. Because of this, frankly, many teams are overwhelmed by the volume and constant drum of potential violations they have to sift through and prioritize.
This problem impacts all companies but especially ones in regulated industries including healthcare and financial services. Those organizations must prove their security posture to regulators, and it is hard to prove what you can't see.
