CIOs are waking up to the reality that they’ve lost control over access to data stored in software-as-a-service applications purchased by other departments.

“By the time an organization buys its sixth or eighth SaaS application, it’s in trouble,” says Jackie Gilbert, vice-president and cofounder of SailPoint, which sells software for bringing these applications back into compliance with company policy. “We’re poised to see more auditor attention and more security directed at this problem.”

Gilbert says that IT departments are discovering that they can’t manage or control access to popular cloud applications such as Salesforce, GoogleApps, Concur, ADP, Workday, Taleo or Box if provisioning and de-provisioning is handled by the department that purchased the application.

“Because it’s being done outside of IT, the kind of discipline and access control best practices do not normally get done,” Gilbert says. “The more SaaS applications that an organization starts to adopt, the more they start to see security weaknesses crop up.”
