SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)

Our SSPM tool helps you automate the process of managing your SaaS apps, including global settings, user privileges, licenses, files, and their security and compliance posture.

Qualys TotalCloud detects malware at least four hours faster than our previous approach. Earlier detection is crucial, because the sooner we can identify and act on threats such as zero-days, the lower the risk that an attack will succeed and spread through our network

Vice President, Information Security Officer

Deploying Qualys CDR for AWS and Azure with just a few clicks, in a matter of minutes, across multiple AWS and Azure subscriptions, was a game changer for our security team. We have a complex environment with many controls, and TotalCloud team worked with us on integration with existing solutions including Secure Web Gateways and integrated SIEM. With their engineering team, together made sure all the security finds were tightly integrated with our SIEM platform. I have rarely seen this level of competency and engagement effort from a vendor.

Assessing and improving the compliance of SaaS applications.

DID YOU KNOW?

On an average, 63% of breaches start from an misconfigurations that are not identified by the Security analysts and the administrators.

What does it contain?

  • Set up the connector with the SaaS application.
  • Identify the benchmark and enable compliance evaluation.
  • Identify misconfigurations.
  • Plan to fix the misconfigurations either manually or using auto-remediation.
  • Once misconfigurations are fixed, generate the compliance report for audit purposes.

Assess the external file sharing and API permissions

Assessing the risk of data leak by analyzing the external file sharing and excessive API permissions.

DID YOU KNOW?

On an average, 20% of data leakage and exfiltration attacks happen due to uncontrolled external sharing of files and excessive API permissions.

What does it contain?

  • Identifying the App registrations with excessive api permissions
  • Identifying the files and its external sharing type, access, etc. metadata.

Assess the event logs for SaaS applications

Assessing the risk of breaches by analyzing the event logs.

DID YOU KNOW?

The lack of incident monitoring and event log analysis can lead to a significant portion of breaches going undetected. Implementing robust logging and monitoring practice is crucial for detecting and responding to security incidents effectively, ultimately reducing the risk of undetected breaches.

What does it contain?

  • Prioritize the events based on the categories.
  • Analyze the event logs and its metadata by clicking on the events.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)?

SSPM continuously evaluates the security configuration of supported SaaS applications to identify misconfigurations, risky permissions, and compliance gaps. Qualys SSPM helps centralize SaaS posture management so security teams can reduce configuration risk across business-critical applications.

Why do organizations need SSPM if SaaS providers already secure their platforms?

SaaS providers secure the service itself, but customers remain responsible for how applications are configured, who has access, how data is shared, and which third-party applications are connected. SSPM helps manage these customer-controlled risks.

Which SaaS applications are supported by Qualys SSPM?

Qualys SSPM supports popular apps like Anthropic Claude, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Zoom, Slack, and more. It continuously monitors these platforms for security issues, configuration risks, and user activity.

Can SSPM assist with compliance management?

Absolutely. Qualys SSPM maps SaaS configurations to compliance frameworks like HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001. It helps you identify non-compliant settings and generate reports to support audits.

Does Qualys SSPM continuously monitor configuration changes?

Yes. Qualys continuously evaluates supported SaaS application configurations and posture so teams can identify changes that create security or compliance risk.

Does SSPM require agents?

No traditional endpoint agent is installed inside the SaaS application. SSPM uses supported SaaS and identity integrations to collect configuration and security context.

Can SSPM help remediate SaaS security issues?

Yes. Qualys provides guided and supported automated remediation capabilities for selected SaaS findings. Available actions depend on the connected SaaS application and issue type.

How is SSPM different from SaaS Detection & Response?

SSPM focuses on preventive SaaS security such as configuration posture, permissions, and compliance. SaaS Detection & Response combines that posture context with broader SaaS discovery, identity, data exposure, and security signals. —

What kind of visibility does Qualys SSPM provide?

Qualys SSPM gives full visibility into SaaS settings, user permissions, sharing configurations, activity logs, and compliance posture. This helps security teams understand risks and act faster to fix them.
