VairogsRemote work, SaaS, and cloud services
Safe work outside the office and inside third-party tools.
The employee understands that company data in the cloud is still company data.
Threat
Supply-chain and third-party risks grow as companies rely on many SaaS tools.
What to know
- Work documents in personal email, personal drives, or unapproved chats become hard to control.
- Access rights should be granted by need, not by convenience.
- A supplier incident can affect your company too.
- In remote work, protect not only the computer, but also the screen, conversations, and printed documents.
Actions
- Use company-approved tools and accounts.
- Regularly review sharing links that you created.
- Do not leave a work screen visible in public places.
- Before using a new tool for work data, ask the responsible person.
Workplace scenario
New SaaS tool
A team finds a convenient free document tool and connects work accounts before anyone checks storage, access rights, or contract terms.
Think before the test
- Which questions should be asked before work data enters a new tool?
- Why does a personal account create a control problem for work data?
- How is access removed when the tool is no longer used?
For the manager and responsible person
SaaS security starts with a simple answer: which tools are approved and who owns the accounts.
- Maintain a short approved-tools list.
- Define who approves new SaaS tools for work data.
- Regularly review public and external sharing links.
