The average company runs over 800 apps, and the majority were never formally approved. Your SSO provider shows you which apps are connected through it. Your endpoint tool shows you what's installed on managed devices. Neither of them can see the Notion workspace someone set up with a personal email, the AI writing tool a copywriter is paying for on expenses, or the BI tool a data analyst signed up for during a free trial six months ago.
That invisible layer — the apps adopted outside any formal process — is where most of the real exposure lives. Data is shared, credentials are created, OAuth grants accumulate, and IT has no idea any of it is happening.
The gap between what IT thinks is in use and what employees actually use keeps widening. Every team move, every new hire, every "I'll just try this tool" decision adds to it.
SSO shows you apps that went through formal provisioning. Porcia finds the rest — personal-email signups, free-tier tools, anything adopted before your SSO rollout, and apps your employees are using right now that nobody approved.
See exactly who signed up for what, when they last logged in, and whether they used a work email or a personal one. No more discovering apps only after a data breach.
The moment someone in your org creates an account at a new SaaS tool, Porcia surfaces it. You set the risk threshold — we do the monitoring.
Porcia cross-references every discovered app against known risk signals — data access scopes, security certifications, and vendor history — so you can prioritise what to review first.
