Secure your Zendesk environment.

Protect your sensitive customer data and support operations by identifying and resolving critical Zendesk security issues and misconfigurations with Nudge Security. Strengthen your Zendesk environment with enhanced identity governance, address critical security risks, and implement strategic guardrails for safe customer support operations.

The Challenge

Customer trust starts with a secure support portal.

Zendesk is the front line of your customer interactions, housing sensitive customer data, support tickets, and communication logs. While Zendesk offers robust security features like IP restrictions, role-based access, and encryption, ensuring these are correctly configured across all your instances can be challenging.

With administrative duties often distributed among support leads and IT, organizations need automated visibility and continuous monitoring to ensure their Zendesk environment remains secure against unauthorized access and data leakage.
With administrative responsibilities often shared across HR, IT, finance, and security teams, organizations need automated methods to continuously monitor security settings, enforce best practices, and keep their Workday environment protected from unauthorized access and data exposure.

The Solution

Secure Zendesk with Nudge Security.

Nudge Security provides a unified approach to Zendesk security and governance, offering a central hub where IT, security, and support operations teams can collaborate to protect their support infrastructure.

  • Weak password complexity, length, history, or expiration requirements
  • Audit logs or account lockout not enabled
  • Session timeouts that are too long or not enforced
  • Publicly accessible ticket attachments or voice recordings
