SaaS Security Posture Management Standard

This standard defines the security posture management of the organization's SaaS portfolio: inventory, configuration baselines, continuous posture monitoring, SaaS-to-SaaS integration risk, third-party application access, shadow-SaaS detection, and offboarding. It complements the supplier programme (which addresses contractual and assurance posture) with the technical and configuration posture of SaaS in use.
