Legacy Security Architecture Misses SaaS Risks

Securing your SaaS ecosystem is a shared responsibility, but native controls are not enough. Decentralized app ownership and constant configuration changes create risks like permission drift, insecure public links, and risky integrations that expose critical data. New blindspots have emerged hidden from Identity Providers (IdP) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) tools like web gateways and CASB. They fail to manage risk inside your SaaS, between your integrations, and fail to prevent shadow IT.

Best Practices for  Successful SSPM Implementation

To maximize SSPM benefits, follow these guidelines:

Get complete visibility in your SaaS footprint

Integrate all critical SaaS apps from day one

Define secure configuration baselines and policy templates

Monitor continuously for deviations, shadow IT, or privilege creep

Automate remediation to reduce risk window and cut manual toil

Involve IT, security, and compliance teams to align coverage and response

Obsidian’s SSPM Platform Approach

Get total visibility into your SaaS estate

Gain full visibility into your SaaS environment, including shadow IT. With one API connection, Obsidian surfaces all managed and unmanaged apps tied to your corporate identity. Find high-risk, unfederated apps and detect 30% more shadow SaaS with our browser extension.

  • Instantly uncover hidden SaaS risks
  • Fast, agentless integration

Continuously enforce secure SaaS configurations

Monitor and enforce secure settings across your SaaS apps in real time. Obsidian scores configurations based on criticality according to built-in or custom policies and flags high-priority failures. Automate alerts to ticketing systems or let app owners remediate securely via role-based access.

  • Eliminate risky misconfigurations before they escalate
  • Maintain compliance with automated workflows

Prioritize Instantly with Evidence-Based Posture Alerts

Go beyond static analysis. Obsidian baselines SaaS behavior to detect real risk like dormant accounts accessed from unsecured networks. Build custom posture rules, automate response, and manage exceptions all within a unified interface.

  • Reduce business friction while minimizing unacceptable risk
  • Tailor controls to match your risk tolerance

Right-size privileged access and SaaS integrations

Uncover and remediate privilege creep across users and integrations. The Obsidian Knowledge Graph unifies identity across SaaS to flag weak MFA, inactive accounts, shadow admins, and overly broad scopes, human or non-human.

  • Enforce least privilege across users and apps
  • Clean up risky or unused access automatically

Automate SaaS audits to easily prove compliance

Track SaaS posture in real time and map controls to frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS, and NIST. Collaborate with app owners, enforce policies, and generate audit-ready reports with a single click.

  • Simplify compliance with automated scoring
  • Speed up audits with instant evidence capture

Customer Highlight

Snowflake has hundreds of SaaS applications — to gain visibility into those SaaS applications could take months. With Obsidian we were able to do that in days, if not hours.

SSPM VS CSPM VS DSPM

It's easy to mix up SSPM, CSPM, and DSPM, but each targets unique security layers:

Discipline

Focus

Role

SSPM

(SaaS Security Posture Management)
SaaS apps
Secures application settings, integrations, identity, and usage

CSPM

(Cloud Security Posture Management)
IaaS
Monitors cloud infrastructure and runtime configurations

DSPM

(Data Security Posture Management)
Data Storage
Classifies and protects sensitive data stores

SSPM fills the gap left by infrastructure and data-centric tools — managing identity and configuration risks unique to SaaS.

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.
