OAuth app access and file oversharing in Google Workspace go undetected

With just a click, users can connect shadow apps, bypass SSO, and expose sensitive data in Google.

Obsidian finds and fixes misconfigurations, closing security gaps before they become data breaches.

Employees can easily bypass security with Google OAuth, file sharing, and Chrome extensions

Without visibility or Google-specific expertise, security teams miss signs of oversharing, inactive OAuth apps, and excessive permissions.

Users can share files externally without oversight, especially risky with departing employees (e.g. Google Takeout shared to personal Gmail accounts)
Domain or user delegated OAuth app integrations are typically unmonitored and difficult to audit
Native tools provide limited visibility to assess third-party app integration risk or customize alert detections
