Discovering Shadow IT

Corma’s Shadow IT module helps IT teams detect, monitor, and manage unsanctioned applications across the organisation.

Shadow IT refers to applications used by employees without formal approval from IT. These apps often go unnoticed, creating security, compliance, and financial risks. Corma automatically detects these apps and presents them in a dedicated interface, enabling IT admins to take swift and informed action.

Access the Shadow IT module by clicking on the dedicated page in the left menu bar.

• Clear Risk Insights: Instantly see newly detected apps, recent activity, and associated risk levels across your organisation.

• Active Browser Extension Coverage: Monitor browser extension adoption to ensure full visibility into your app landscape.

• Third-Party Token Inventory: Review all third-party tokens granted by users, including scope, app status, and permission source. Tokens can be revoked directly from the interface.

• Smart Filters: Use advanced filters to quickly drill down by app, user, permission type, or source.

Corma admins are prompted to categorise applications used across the organisation using one of the following statuses: Unauthorized, Authorized, Tolerated, or To Review.

Corma automatically assigns a compliance risk score to each Shadow IT application—Low, Moderate, or High—based on factors such as data hosting location, data sensitivity, security certifications, and known security incidents.
