Grip SSPM: The Next Evolution in SaaS Identity Risk Management

SaaS security is continually evolving, and Grip is at the forefront—embracing SaaS identity risk management to provide organizations with visibility, control, and proactive mitigation across a SaaS ecosystem. Now, we’re taking it even further.  

Introducing Grip SSPM, the latest addition to our platform—purpose-built to correct and prevent SaaS misconfigurations and elevate your security posture, powered by Grip’s unparalleled risk insights.

The Power of a Unified SaaS Security Platform

SaaS security isn’t just about discovery or policy enforcement—it’s about continuous, intelligent risk mitigation. With Grip SSPM, Grip Extend (our browser extension), and the SaaS Security Control Plane all working together, you now have an unparalleled single source of truth for SaaS security. This means:

• Misconfiguration risks are identified and prioritized, so that you can take swift action to correct them.

• Seamless integration with your existing security tools, eliminating silos and manual work.

• Full visibility into SaaS identity risks, permissions, and compliance gaps in near real-time.

• A proactive, ongoing program that stops issues before they escalate.

How Grip SSPM Works

Grip SSPM extends your SaaS identity risk management strategy by delivering continuous monitoring so SaaS security misconfigurations can be remediated. It ensures that gaps don’t just get flagged—they get fixed. See how in this self-guided tour:

With Grip’s SaaS Security Control Plane acting as the intelligence hub, SSPM feeds directly into your centralized security framework, giving you instant clarity on risk levels and prescriptive guidance on remediation. And with Grip Extend user security insights, SaaS misconfiguration prevention begins at the weakest point of access, before risky settings or weak configurations can even be introduced.

Streamlined Security Operations

By integrating directly with SaaS platforms like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Okta, Salesforce, Slack, and Zoom, Grip’s SSPM module simplifies risk mitigation and strengthens security across an organization’s entire SaaS ecosystem. Grip SSPM connects via vendor-provided APIs, supporting both OAuth and API key-based authentication, ensuring seamless deployment while maintaining least-privilege access. It continuously scans both identity-specific settings and global configurations, offering near real-time visibility into security risks. Historical data is maintained for trend analysis and drift detection, allowing security teams to track changes and prevent misconfigurations before they lead to vulnerabilities.

Grip SSPM also supports multi-tenancy for enterprise organizations, enabling you to manage multiple SaaS environments with consistent security configurations. This simplifies security operations and reduces risk across an expanding SaaS landscape.

Risks Prioritized by Severity and Business Impact

Security risks are prioritized based on severity and business impact, ensuring that teams focus on the most critical threats first. Grip’s SSPM works with security compliance best practices by continuously evaluating identity and security configurations, leveraging frameworks like CISA’s SCuBA for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Relevant stakeholders receive immediate alerts with clear, actionable guidance, enabling swift and effective mitigation.

Grip SSPM empowers security and IT teams with actionable recommendations and step-by-step guidance, ensuring complete control over their configurations with full transparency. Manual overrides are audited, allowing users to justify changes and maintain accountability in security decision-making.

Why This Matters: Simplifying SaaS Security, Maximizing Protection

Security and IT teams have long struggled with SaaS sprawl, identity-related risks, and the complexity of managing security settings across an ever-expanding application landscape. Adding another dashboard isn’t the answer. What’s needed is an integrated, automated approach—one that doesn’t just tell you what’s wrong but helps you fix it and prevent future risks.

That’s exactly what Grip delivers. A fully unified SaaS security strategy that protects identities, enforces security policies, and continuously corrects misconfigurations—all from a single platform. Additionally, Grip accelerates issue resolution through automated workflows that engage app owners to proactively secure applications, ensuring that security isn’t just an IT function but a shared responsibility across the organization.
