Shadow IT and SaaS Visibility

Complete Visibility into Shadow IT, Shadow AI, Shadow SSO, and All Cloud Usage

Cloud consumption isn’t limited to major providers like Microsoft or Google or well-known SaaS applications; it also includes third-party Shadow IT web applications where employees use corporate credentials, such as supply chain portals or small service providers.

Scirge uniquely maps an organization’s cloud footprint without relying on SaaS application lists, network logs, or API integrations. Using centrally managed policies and a lightweight browser extension, it monitors SSO and corporate identity usage to discover Shadow IT, Shadow AI, Shadow SSO, monitor SaaS usage, and deliver comprehensive visibility into cloud application activity.

Cloud and Corporate Identity Protecion

Deep Insights into Cloud Identities and Credential Risks

Scirge provides a comprehensive inventory of both password-based logins and single sign-on (SSO) methods like SAML and OpenID. This creates a detailed view of application, account, and user activity.

Scirge monitors all web-based cloud activity, whether it’s:

  • A large cloud provider
  • A niche SaaS app
  • A supply chain portal
  • Hidden Shadow IT and Shadow AI accounts

Privacy is ensured through industry-standard methods and centrally managed policies.

The three-dimensional cloud access inventory delivers key insights:

  • Reveals specific account details
  • Links Shadow IT and SaaS usage to individual users
  • Performs thorough password hygiene checks, evaluating strength, complexity, and exposure to breaches
  • Detects corporate password reuse across SaaS and Shadow IT accounts — all without storing passwords.

Compliance and Governance

Engage Employees in Shadow IT Governance

Shadow IT, SaaS, and cloud access in general challenge organizations as employees often create ad-hoc access to web-based services without IT oversight—as a result, employees have to be involved in the resolution.

Scirge addresses this with robust omnichannel awareness features, including:

  • Real-time browser notifications to educate or immediately inform employees of risks
  • Automated email alerts based on custom workflows
  • Integrations with third-party systems such as Slack, Teams, or using custom API-connectors

Employees can also access their personal dashboard, which:

  • Enhances transparency by listing all work-related accounts
  • Highlights issues requiring attention, helping employees take immediate action
  • Helps IT teams offload Shadow IT-related tasks to employees with built-in ticketing

These unique educational tools strengthen workforce resilience and promote a culture of security awareness. Employee involvement in Shadow IT governance and SaaS access security is critical for reducing the organization's attack surface.
