Enterprise SSPM — Continuous SaaS Security Posture Management

SaaS Security Is Broken at Most Enterprises

The average enterprise uses 130+ SaaS applications. Most security teams can fully account for fewer than 20% of them. The rest — productivity tools, collaboration platforms, developer environments, HR and finance applications — are connected to your identity infrastructure, your data, and each other, with configurations that drift from secure baselines daily.

Symosis Enterprise SSPM gives you continuous visibility into the security posture of your entire SaaS stack. Misconfigurations, over-privileged accounts, risky OAuth integrations, and shadow SaaS — identified, prioritized by risk severity, and tracked to remediation. Built by the practitioners who keep finding the same vulnerabilities in client environments because no existing tool was surfacing them clearly.

Why SaaS Security Is Broken at Most Enterprises

You Don't Know What's Connected

Every employee who signs up for a SaaS tool with 'Sign in with Google' creates an OAuth integration to your identity infrastructure. Most enterprises have hundreds of these integrations — many with scopes that allow reading email, modifying files, or accessing calendar data. Your security team doesn't know most of them exist.

Configurations Drift Daily

SaaS platforms push UI updates, introduce new security settings, and change defaults without announcement. A configuration that met your security baseline last month may be out of policy today. Without continuous monitoring, drift is invisible until an incident makes it visible.

Privilege Accumulates Silently

Employees change roles, leave the company, or accumulate permissions through project access requests. In most SaaS environments, access is never removed — it accumulates. Over-privileged accounts are the most common vector in SaaS-related breaches because they require no exploitation — just discovery.

Compliance Can't Be Manual

SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF all require documented, current evidence of SaaS access controls and configuration management. Manually collecting this evidence across 130+ applications is not feasible. Without automation, SaaS compliance is a checkbox exercise that doesn't reflect actual posture.

What Symosis SSPM Does

Continuous Visibility. Prioritized Risk. Tracked Remediation.

  • SaaS Application Discovery — Discovers your full SaaS application inventory including shadow SaaS and OAuth integrations your IT team doesn't have on record. Every application connected to your identity infrastructure, mapped and assessed.

  • Security Configuration Assessment — Evaluates the security configuration of every connected SaaS application against CIS benchmarks and Symosis-defined security baselines. Identifies deviations from secure configuration standards.

  • User Access & Privilege Analysis — Maps every user's access across every connected application. Identifies over-privileged accounts, dormant accounts, accounts with admin access in multiple applications, and accounts belonging to former employees still active in SaaS platforms.

  • OAuth & Integration Risk — Evaluates every third-party application connected via OAuth. Identifies risky permission scopes, applications with access to sensitive data types (email content, calendar, file access), and integrations with no legitimate business justification.

  • Misconfiguration Prioritization — Every finding is scored by risk severity, not just policy violation count. A misconfiguration in Salesforce with customer PII exposure risk ranks higher than a UI preference setting. Remediation queues are prioritized by actual business impact.

  • Compliance Evidence Generation — SSPM continuously generates compliance evidence for SaaS access controls — the control mapping, access review documentation, and configuration evidence your auditors need for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF assessments. Integrated with ARC for full compliance posture coverage.

  • Remediation Tracking — Findings link directly to remediation guidance: configuration steps, access revocation procedures, and documentation requirements. Track remediation status from discovery to closure with evidence of fix.

  • Continuous Monitoring — SSPM monitors your SaaS stack continuously — alerting when new applications are connected, when configurations drift from baseline, when privilege levels change, or when new high-risk OAuth integrations appear.
