SaaS & "Shadow IT" Governance

Modern SaaS platforms rely heavily on Product-Led Growth (PLG) strategies, making signup as simple as clicking "Log in with Google" or charging a monthly subscription to an employee expense card. Departments and individual users adopt these tools to solve immediate operational bottlenecks without realizing they are introducing unvetted data stores, browser extensions, and third-party API integrations into the enterprise ecosystem

NuVision EAM ingests and correlates data across multiple channels—including Identity Provider (IdP/SSO) logs, Financial/Expense management systems, browser extensions, and cloud gateway telemetry. By mapping these data feeds to your central technology inventory, NuVision automatically identifies unsanctioned software, unapproved OAuth integrations, and expense-reimbursed tools operating outside central governance

NuVision links discovered SaaS applications directly to core business capabilities, exposing redundant point solutions across different departments. It overlays active usage metrics onto contract entitlement data, revealing inactive user accounts, over-provisioned enterprise tiers, and upcoming auto-renewals. This allows Procurement and EA teams to right-size seats, consolidate vendor contracts, and reclaim wasted budget

Unsanctioned SaaS applications often bypass critical corporate security baselines like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO). NuVision evaluates every discovered SaaS tool against enterprise security frameworks and regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, SOC 2, DORA). It highlights high-risk applications storing sensitive data or maintaining overly permissive OAuth access, enabling security teams to remediate or block vulnerabilities rapidly

When an employee leaves, traditional offboarding processes usually revoke access to central IT systems but miss isolated, department-level SaaS accounts. NuVision maintains an identity-to-application map that surfaces all active software accounts, API tokens, and OAuth grants associated with each user. This guarantees that access to off-grid cloud applications is completely terminated, preventing lingering ex-employee access

Yes. NuVision provides a streamlined SaaS intake and approval workflow. Instead of enforcing rigid, slow procurement policies, business teams can request or evaluate new software against predefined architectural standards. NuVision automatically checks vendor risk, checks for existing internal software with overlapping capabilities, and routes requests through accelerated governance guardrails—allowing business units to innovate safely
