Imagine a bustling organization where new employees are constantly joining and old employees are leaving. With each new hire, IT teams are tasked with the tedious and time-consuming task of providing access to various SaaS apps. And with each departure, the process of revoking that access can be just as cumbersome. But what if there was a way to streamline this process and ensure productivity and security for the organization? Enter Zluri, the innovative LCM tool that can revolutionize how organizations onboard and offboard employees.

With Zluri, the process of provisioning and deprovisioning SaaS apps becomes a breeze. Thanks to its automated workflows, IT teams can efficiently onboard multiple employees and provide them with access to the tools they need with just a few clicks.

With Zluri's App Catalog & Access Request, organizations can also easily track the usage and adoption of their SaaS apps. This allows them to see which apps are used the most and which may need to be replaced or removed. This helps organizations save money on unnecessary subscriptions and licenses and ensure that their employees use the most effective tools.

Zluri enhances the overall security of the organization

Zluri enhances a company's overall security by categorizing all of the SaaS apps in the stack into different groups, such as managed, unmanaged, restricted, and needs reviews. All SaaS apps are first in the "needs review" category, where they are manually checked by IT admins before being placed in their appropriate group.

14

Zluri analyzes SaaS apps and categorizes them into three risk levels: low, medium, and high, as well as threat levels ranging from 0 to 5. 

15

Level 0 means no threat is available, and the app is secure. Level 5 means the threat is perilous and can damage security, and action is needed. This means that if any SaaS app poses a potential threat to your organization, it will be placed in the restricted apps section for added security. 

For example,

  • If you share a document with a user of view access, then it is low risk and 1,2 level of threat.

  • If you share a document with a user with edit access, it is a medium risk with 3,4 levels of threat.

  • Giving a user delete access to the document is a high-risk and level 5 threat.

Zluri checks all the security measures to safeguard your organization and ensures all the connected SaaS complies with different regulations such as ISO, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPA, and CCPA. 

After analyzing the SaaS apps, it provides a detailed report of the compliances in a single dashboard. Finally, Zluri prepares a security grade score of 100, which includes checking all the events, data shafted, security probes, and compliances in which compliance has 30% weightage and the remaining have a combined 70% weightage to the total score.

16

If the security score is low, that signifies the application can cause a threat to the organization, and if the score is high, it means the application is safe. Furthermore, if you click on the compliances, you will get more details, such as the compliances' effective date and end date.
