Secure every app: gain control of SaaS and shadow IT
Discover, monitor, and govern all SaaS applications—both managed and unmanaged—to reduce security risks, optimize IT spend, and ensure compliance without disrupting productivity.
Gain complete visibility over SaaS apps
Discover every SaaS application in use—including shadow IT—while gaining real-time visibility into app usage, security risks, and compliance gaps. With a centralized view, security teams can proactively detect vulnerabilities and enforce policies before threats arise. This enables you to bring these applications into the IT and security fold, regardless if they are shadow IT or acquired through M&A.
Get control–and stay ahead–of shadow IT
Continuously monitor and govern shadow IT with automated workflows that detect and mitigate unauthorized applications. Enforce security policies at scale to prevent data exposure, reduce attack surfaces, and ensure compliance.
Bring SaaS apps into compliance
Ensure that both managed and unmanaged SaaS applications meet security and regulatory standards like SOC2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. With automated compliance tracking, security teams can identify non-compliant tools and take immediate action to remediate risks.
Block risky applications like GenAI
Proactively prevent employees from accessing high-risk SaaS applications that could expose sensitive data or introduce compliance violations. With precise access controls, security teams can protect company data while ensuring seamless productivity.

1Password makes it possible to secure every credential, device, and application–including those that are unmanaged by IT and security.
