Insight Breakdown & Use
Recommended Actions
Get rolling quickly by completing the setup for the SaaS Agent, your Identity Provider, and SaaS Ops Integrations. Then explore the various recommended actions that highlight the most important next steps to help you get the most out of the platform.
Inventory Overview
A high-level snapshot of all discovered applications, users, and devices across your environment. Use this to stay up to date and launch deeper audits and actions from a single point.
Application Insights: Make Your SaaS Smarter
The Application Insights section of the Client Dashboard surfaces targeted, actionable intelligence designed to help you better understand and manage your SaaS environment. Each widget highlights a specific dimension of risk, utilization, or governance, offering a direct path to resolution or optimization.
App Classification Status
Shows how many apps have been classified by lifecycle stage or business owner. Use this to highlight implementation progress. Classification is foundational to improving security posture, compliance tracking, and spend management. Application classification is an ongoing process as new apps are continuously discovered. We recommend starting with those marked as Critical or High Risk to ensure the most impactful security and compliance coverage.
Recently Discovered Applications
Tracks trends in newly identified apps in your environment. Use this to stay proactive in managing SaaS sprawl and validating whether new tools align with business needs and policy standards. Use the Recently Discovered view to validate usage trends and take action on new discoveries.
Shadow IT Applications
Highlights newly discovered, high-risk Shadow IT apps. Risk scores reflect potential exposure based on app category, with higher scores often linked to AI tools, password managers, and file-sharing services due to their access to sensitive data. Use this to assess tools flying under the radar that may pose unnecessary security risks. Review and classify apps using the Possible Shadow IT view to enhance security and procurement alignment.
High-Risk Users
Pinpoints users adopting apps more aggressively than average. Use this to flag potential training or policy gaps. Review individual app usage or utilize the User Application Inventory report to start conversations about standardization and risk.
Pro tip: You can schedule the report to stay on top of patterns.
AI Applications
Detects AI tools in use across your environment. Use this to spot potential concerns and support governance of emerging tech. Prioritize AI-specific security reviews and classify applications using the Possible Shadow AI view to ensure appropriate oversight of AI tools.
SSO Coverage
Highlights apps that support SSO but haven’t enabled it. Use this to drive quick security wins with minimal effort. The default view displays apps that support SSO but don’t have it enabled, prioritized by risk to help drive SSO enforcement.
MFA Coverage
Provides a centralized MFA visibility to see which accounts have MFA enabled, identify where gaps create risk & deliver actionable security insights to strengthen your security and compliance workflows.
Shared Credentials
Shows which applications and accounts are accessed via shared login credentials. Use this to reduce unauthorized access risks and promote better security hygiene. Filter Security Logs by the Incident Flags column and include personal applications to pinpoint shared usage.
Overlapping Tools
Identifies applications within the same functional category that may represent redundancy. Use this to support tool consolidation and cost-reduction discussions. Review overlapping tools using the App Overlap Report.
Pro tip: Schedule recurring reports for ongoing monitoring.
Apps Added in Last 30 Days
Use in conjunction with the Recently Discovered Applications tile. It shows a list of all apps added in the last 30 days, along with associated risk levels. Drill into specific apps to evaluate users and related security logs to stay informed about new additions.
Recent Events
Real-time log of key activities like new app usage or shared logins. Stay ahead of rapid changes and risks by setting up custom alerts to keep stakeholders informed and agile.
License Insights (via SaaS Ops Integration)
License Insights help reduce software waste by identifying underutilized or unused licenses. This supports smarter spend management, streamlined offboarding, and improved ROI through more efficient license allocation. For more details about SaaS Ops Integrations, check out our Knowledge Base articles.
Underutilized Licenses
Flags apps with licenses that have been inactive for 30+ days. Drill into each app, identify inactive users, and offboard them using the Employee Lifecycle tool.
Undetected Accounts
Highlights apps with licenses that have never been activated or used, based on usage collected via the Auvik SaaS Agent or Identity Management Provider integration. Use this to eliminate waste and right-size licensing.
Pro tip: Ensure usage data is captured by verifying that an agent or identity provider (IDP) is configured for all users. Also, add contract details to support proactive renewal management.
