AI-Powered SaaS Risk Analyzer Controls Risk with Confidence

As SaaS stacks grow, so do the risks—security gaps, compliance failures, and shadow IT can silently jeopardize operations. In the past, Josys helped IT teams navigate this risk landscape using Netskope’s CCI risk rating (High, Medium, Low). Today, Josys has expanded on those assessments to provide greater transparency and context into how it affects an organization —especially as GenAI adoption exploded.

Introducing the Josys AI-Powered SaaS Risk Analyzer

The new SaaS Risk Analyzer, powered by Josys AI, transforms how IT and security teams assess third-party app risk. Our proprietary scoring engine, aligned with SCuBA framework, is built on publicly accessible crowdsourced data and now delivers a detailed Security Score (0–100) and clear Risk Level (Low, Medium, High) for SaaS apps discovered in your environment.

‍

This isn't just a new score—it's a smarter way to assess SaaS risk.

‍

‍

A Closer Look at Risk Signals & Scoring 

Each Security Score is powered by five key dimensions and 21 key parameters, giving IT leaders meaningful context and actionable insight: 

‍

Generative AI Risks

A first of its kind, this feature flags apps using generative AI in ways that could increase exposure risk, such as using data for model training or sharing data with third-party GenAI vendors. 

‍

Security Posture

Analyzes weaknesses like missing MFA, SSO, or audit log availability, helping you zero in on real vulnerabilities.

‍

Compliance 

Surfaces certifications like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and reviews app privacy policies to identify potential regulatory or compliance misalignments.

‍

Operational Risk

Assesses disaster recovery readiness and the potential for downtime or data loss due to poor backup strategies or single points of failure.

‍

Application Details

Examines app legitimacy and vendor credibility through indicators like category, company age, HQ location, domain verification, and known suspicious IPs.

‍

Additional SaaS Risk Features

In addition to scoring, Josys now includes two powerful tools to help teams visualize and act on risk data:

‍

1.  Interactive Bubble Chart

View the top 20 discovered apps in a dynamic bubble graph showing risk score vs. usage. One click lets you drill into app-specific user access and risk intel.

‍

‍

2.  Vendor Risk Analysis 

Instantly pull up security and risk profiles for any SaaS app. Ideal for procurement and finance teams during renewals or before adding a new tool.

‍

Why It Matters

With the new SaaS Risk Analyzer, Josys shifts from simply flagging risky apps to explaining the why behind the risk. This makes it easier for IT, security, procurement, and finance teams to:

‍

• Make informed app approval and vendor decisions
  
• Proactively enforce access and compliance policies
  
• Address risks related to GenAI before they become breaches
  
• Reduce licensing waste by deactivating non-compliant or high-risk tools
  
  

More Visibility. Smarter Decisions. Stronger SaaS Security.

Josys is redefining SaaS management by putting AI-powered app intelligence into the hands of every IT team. With better insight comes better control—and a safer, more efficient tech stack.
