Your TPRM program can’t keep pace with changing SaaS and AI risks. Attackers know it.

Third-party breaches at Vercel, Salesloft Drift, and LastPass reveal that an app’s connections to your own environment matter just as much as a vendor’s external security posture. Employees constantly connect apps to other systems, share sensitive data, and grant new access, creating an evolving risk surface that’s hard for security teams to monitor—and easy for attackers to exploit.

Keep third-party SaaS & AI risk visible, prioritized, and under control.

❌

Risk is assessed during vendor procurement and treated as static, even as vendor posture, app usage, and access change.

❌

Security teams lack visibility into shadow SaaS and AI, leaving many apps, integrations, and non-human identities outside risk-management processes.

❌

Generic vendor scores are disconnected from internal context such as data sensitivity, authentication, OAuth grants, configurations, and compensating controls.

❌

Teams manually investigate changing risks and struggle to determine which apps and control gaps require attention first.

❌

Mitigating controls lag behind evolving risks, allowing new integrations, broader access, and changing app criticality to create unaddressed exposure.

SaaS and AI apps are continuously discovered and auto-tiered by criticality based on the scope of organizational adoption and the sensitivity of inferred data types.

Dynamic app risk scores combine vendor, supply-chain, and breach intelligence with each app’s internal usage, access, identity, integration, and control context.

Specific control gaps are continuously surfaced and ranked by their potential impact, showing security teams what to fix first.

Findings, remediation workflows, and recommended controls adapt as an app’s risk posture changes.

Policy-driven nudges and guided workflows engage the right app owner, administrator, or user to reduce risk at scale while preserving human oversight.⁠
