AccessOwl: Discover every hidden SaaS app and their users

Losing track of who has access to which apps is a nightmare. In Mathias Nestler and my previous roles as CTO, COO, and CEO, the problem usually came up in one of three ways:

1. Missed Employee Offboardings: If I don’t know which apps the employee used, it’s impossible to fully offboard them. There’s nothing worse than finding out an employee who left for your competition still has access to company data.
2. Failing Compliance: The first question an auditor will ask is what systems you use. Knowing where your company data lives is at the core of any audit.
3. Unwanted Costs: It sucks to find out that you pay for multiple apps that essentially do the same. You can only keep your team accountable if you know what they use.

In the world of IT administration this challenge is called ‘Shadow IT' - apps you are not aware being used by your team.

Historically, the only options have been to repeatedly ask employees to fill out a Gsheet with any apps they remember using or to manually search through Google Workspace OAuth logs.

Here’s a better option: Uncover all SaaS apps and their users in a single click!

The Shadow IT scanner will find any SaaS app your employees use in combination with Google or Microsoft sign-in.

FAQ

Why do you offer this for free?

Knowing who has access to what should be the standard for all of us. We want to bring attention to the need to manage your access proactively, which is why we decided to offer a part of our product for free.

How does it work?

AccessOwl reads your organization’s OAuth logs and matches them with our SaaS database. As a result, you’ll see which apps have been used and by whom.

What if a user signed up with email/password and didn’t use ‘Sign in with Google/Microsoft’?

This feature is not currently part of the free scan. However, our core product offers advanced Shadow IT detection, which includes checking for invitation emails.

Is this safe to use?

Yes, reading OAuth logs is common practice for SaaS management vendors. The data is only extracted when you actively request a scan. AccessOwl is SOC 2 Type II audited and GDPR compliant.
