Unlock Efficiency & Security with the New SaaS Management Scorecard

The Challenge of Modern SaaS Environments

In today's businesses, organizations rely on dozens—sometimes hundreds—of SaaS applications to power their operations. While these tools drive productivity, they also create significant management challenges:

‍

• How do you ensure proper access controls?
• Are you wasting money on unused licenses?
• Are there security vulnerabilities hiding in your SaaS stack?

‍

These questions led us to develop the SaaS Management Scorecard, a powerful new analytics tool that gives IT leaders unprecedented visibility and control of their SaaS ecosystem.

‍

‍

Measuring What Matters

The Scorecard analyzes various sub-factors within four main components: Accounts, Access, Apps, and Licenses. Each sub-factor is assigned weightings and impact scores to reflect its importance in your overall SaaS governance posture.

The result? A comprehensive score that quantifies your organization's SaaS management maturity through a data-driven lens.

Beyond Metrics: Actionable Intelligence

What sets our Scorecard apart isn't just measurement—it's the actionable intelligence it delivers.

For each identified issue, the system generates prioritized recommendations at the app or account level, directing IT teams to the actions that will drive maximum impact with minimal effort.

As customers implement these recommendations, they'll see their scores improve in real-time, creating a virtuous cycle of continuous enhancement.
