Stop treating compliance as a once-a-year event.

Compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and GDPR ask for evidence that you know what data you hold, who can access it, and how it's protected. But that evidence requires an accurate SaaS inventory — which most organizations don't have. With the average company running over 800 apps, the majority never formally approved, that inventory gap is where compliance quietly breaks.

When an auditor asks which apps your employees use to process personal data, the honest answer is often "we're not entirely sure." Shadow IT, unreviewed OAuth grants, and apps adopted outside IT's view create gaps that aren't visible until someone specifically looks.

A compliance posture built on a static snapshot degrades every day as your stack changes. The goal is continuous coverage — not a sprint to assemble evidence every time an audit cycle begins.
