Shadow IT rarely looks “shadowy.”

It often starts with a useful app, a free trial, an OAuth click, or a team subscription. The problem is simple: IT may never see it.

01
Free plans
Employees can start using cloud software without a purchase order, contract, or license request.
02
OAuth connections
Third-party apps can enter through “Sign in with Google” or consent flows long before they are reviewed.
03
Team purchases
Departments can buy point solutions independently, creating duplicate vendors and fragmented ownership.
04
Direct web access
Some SaaS leaves little identity-provider evidence at all. That is where access logs become valuable.

Scan where SaaS leaves evidence.

The scanner looks beyond purchasing systems and checks the systems that actually record application access.

MS

Microsoft Entra ID

Enterprise applications, sign-ins and cloud application relationships.

OK

Okta

SSO assignments, application access and authentication activity.

GW

Google Workspace

OAuth grants, third-party connections and app-related identity signals.

LOG

Access logs

Proxy, firewall, browser or other traffic records that expose SaaS domains.

How it works

Discovery without a giant rollout.

Use the scanner to establish a fast baseline, then decide which applications deserve deeper review.

1

Point it at a source

Connect Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, or supply a supported log file.

2

Collect access clues

Analyze application records, authentication events, OAuth relationships and domains.

3

Resolve products and vendors

Translate technical records into recognizable SaaS services your team can investigate.

4

Compare against what you know

Identify apps missing from your official inventory and flag candidates for ownership, spend or risk review.

Scanner output

Get an inventory you can work with.

Instead of another raw log dump, the scanner organizes discovered SaaS into a simple review list: what was found, where it appeared, how many users were seen, and whether it already exists in your known inventory.

FAQ

Before you scan.

What does the scanner discover?

It is designed to identify SaaS and cloud applications visible through identity records, OAuth grants, sign-in activity and supported access logs.

Does every discovered application count as a problem?

No. Shadow IT can include legitimate tools that simply sit outside the official inventory. Discovery gives IT a chance to understand, classify and govern them.

Why scan both identity systems and logs?

Identity platforms capture strong SSO and OAuth evidence, but not every SaaS service uses centrally managed authentication. Logs can expose additional application domains.

Can the results feed AssetLoom?

The scan can serve as a starting point for IT asset intelligence and SaaS inventory workflows. Connect this CTA to your import flow when available.
