SaaS identity risk management company Grip Security partnered with SecurityScorecard, which focuses on cybersecurity ratings, to introduce a new approach to managing SaaS security risk.
The collaboration offers combined risk ratings for both SaaS vendor risk and enterprise identity risk, setting a new standard in cybersecurity. The collaboration marks a milestone in cybersecurity, offering a more complete views of SaaS risk in an enterprise. The integration provides organizations with:
- Risk assessment, including number of users, growth in usage and SaaS-to-SaaS connections. This holistic view empowers organizations to make more informed decisions and manage risks more effectively.
- Vendor risk for shadow SaaS, leveraging Grip for discovery and onboarding, and SecurityScorecard’s comprehensive vendor risk ratings to monitor and rate the cybersecurity posture of previously unmanaged applications.
- Identity risk for managed SaaS, measuring SaaS identity risk factors and assessing the efficacy of their SaaS security programs.
- Risk management, to continuously monitor and enhance security posture.
“SecurityScorecard has the world’s largest risk and threat intelligence dataset, and they are an ideal partner for Grip Security,” said Lior Yaari, the CEO and co-founder of Grip Security. “The two companies share the common vision of enabling the modern organization to use any SaaS their employees choose rather than constraining their productivity by centrally dictating the applications they can use.”
