Frequently Asked Questions

What is SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)?

SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) is a solution designed to eliminate risks across your SaaS environment by continually monitoring, managing, and remediating security issues and misconfigurations. Obsidian SSPM helps organizations identify privileged accounts without proper controls, revoke dormant access, uncover shadow SaaS, automate compliance, and manage integration risks efficiently.

Why is SaaS compliance important for my organization?

SaaS compliance is critical because non-compliance can lead to significant business losses, including reputational damage and legal consequences. In fact, there are over 33 class action lawsuits per month related to data breaches involving non-compliance. Efficient SSPM not only ensures you meet regulatory requirements but also reduces the potential impact of security incidents.

How does Obsidian help automate SaaS compliance?

Obsidian automates SaaS compliance by allowing you to track progress against external and custom frameworks, receive real-time alerts on non-compliant app controls, automate evidence collection, and generate reports for any compliance framework within seconds. This streamlines audit preparation and reduces compliance management overhead substantially.

What risks are associated with SaaS misconfigurations?

SaaS misconfigurations can leave critical gaps that attackers exploit to gain unauthorized access or exfiltrate data. With more than 40 million unique permissions across SaaS solutions, manual remediation isn’t scalable. One in six SaaS breaches stem from basic posture issues, such as dormant accounts or excess privileges; addressing these can prevent many security incidents.

How does Obsidian discover and manage shadow SaaS?

Obsidian uncovers both sanctioned and unsanctioned apps within your organization, providing detailed insights on users, login frequency, authentication methods, and app owners. By managing this SaaS inventory, organizations can control SaaS sprawl, minimize risk from unapproved apps, and optimize business expenses.

Can Obsidian help prevent SaaS configuration drift?

Yes, Obsidian helps prevent SaaS configuration drift by monitoring for unauthorized or risky configuration changes across your SaaS environment. Early detection and automated remediation options eliminate potentially harmful changes, maintaining a secure and compliant SaaS posture over time.

How does Obsidian reduce integration risk across SaaS applications?

Obsidian identifies all SaaS integrations in your environment, assigns comprehensive risk scores to each integration, and flags unapproved, new, or inactive integrations. This proactive approach allows you to quickly mitigate risks associated with third-party SaaS connections before they can be exploited.

What are the benefits of using Obsidian for managing privileged accounts?

Obsidian helps you monitor privileged accounts for proper controls such as MFA, automate workflows for risk management, revoke unnecessary access, and address privilege creep. By managing high-risk accounts, you significantly decrease the likelihood of a security breach originating from excessive or outdated permissions.
