Frequently Asked Questions

What is shadow IT risk?

Shadow IT risk is the security and compliance exposure created when employees use unapproved software, cloud services, or AI tools without IT knowledge. This creates data leaks, compliance gaps, and uncontrolled costs.

How is the shadow IT risk score calculated?

The score evaluates 8 key risk factors including SSO coverage, BYOD policies, onboarding/offboarding processes, monitoring capabilities, OAuth review practices, app approval workflows, and shadow AI policies.

How can I reduce my shadow IT risk?

Start with visibility — you can't manage what you can't see. Deploy automated SaaS discovery, implement an app approval process, enforce SSO across all tools, and regularly review OAuth grants and third-party access.
