Prioritize your SaaS and AI inventory automatically with data types and business criticality tiers, now in open beta

Now, Nudge Security helps you triage and prioritize apps at the scale of modern SaaS and AI adoption by automatically assigning each app a business criticality tier (Low, Medium, High, or Critical) based on the data it typically handles.

‍

An app’s data access represents what’s at stake if the app is compromised. Nudge Security uses a proprietary model to infer the data types each AI or SaaS vendor typically handles. Next, each data type is classified by sensitivity, and business criticality is set based on the highest data sensitivity tier. With this update, which is now in open beta, you can:

  • Automatically triage every app in your environment based on its potential impact to your business.
  • Filter your inventory by 27 distinct data types, with no manual research required.
  • Tailor data sensitivity tiers to match your organization's data governance model (Settings > Risk). Business criticality recalculates automatically, except where you've set a tier manually.
  • Surface certain security posture findings only for Critical and High tier apps.

View business criticality tiers and data types within your app inventory, or within any app overview. Note: Previously tagged data types aren't lost. They now live under Data Types (Legacy), separate from the new, automatically populated Data Types field.
