The average company has 900+ unreviewed third-party integrations. Here's why that's terrifying.
Most DevOps teams I talk to have no idea how many third-party apps are connected to their SaaS stack. The number is usually shocking.
Here's the pattern I see over and over:
Someone installs a "meeting summarizer" Slack bot. Harmless, right? Except it requested — and got — read access to every channel in the workspace. Including #engineering-incidents and #executive-strategy.
A developer connects a CI/CD tool to GitHub. It needs repo access. But it also got org-level admin permissions because that was the default OAuth scope. Nobody noticed.
Marketing installs 15 Zapier integrations. Each one has API tokens with varying permissions across Salesforce, HubSpot, and Google Drive. None of them have been audited since creation.
Multiply this across 100+ SaaS tools. Now you've got hundreds of third-party apps with permissions nobody's tracking, scopes nobody's reviewing, and tokens that never expire.
This is how breaches happen. Not through sophisticated zero-days — through forgotten OAuth tokens with way too much access.
If you're responsible for your org's security posture (or you're trying to pass SOC2/ISO 27001), start by answering one question: Who has access to what, and why?
That's exactly what we built ScopeGuard to answer.
