The road to enterprise-ready SaaS
Find out how bad it is
- Conduct a company/group-wide SaaS assessment
- Use Internet perimeters such as CASB in order to achieve the best results
Create a team of experts –
SaaS Center of Excellence (SCoE)
- Create a cross-functional team of experts (Read our whitepaper)
- Establish this team as the central point of contact for all questions relating to SaaS.
- Set this team as the primary contact and contractual partner for all your SaaS providers
- Let this team work hand in hand with your Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) as equal partners
Create a SaaS Governance
- Create a SaaS Governance and weave it into your overall Cloud Governance
- Include SaaS Classification, SaaS value limits and approval limits, Identity Management, Information Security Rules, Data Protection Rules, Service management and responsibilities (SaaS ownership), Exit strategies and procedures and SaaS risk management
Create a SaaS process
- The Owner of the SaaS process is the SaaS Center of Excellence (SCoE)
- Create a SaaS light and a full blown SaaS process leveraging your newly created SaaS classification (“If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”)
- The light process is designed for speed and standardized processing and uses prefabricated side processes
Implement a SaaS management solution
- Track SaaS usage and manage spend
- Optimize your SaaS spend
- Conduct contract negotiations based on real SaaS usage
- Streamline SaaS applications, if possible
- Proactively manage contracts and renewals
- Keep track of and respond to changes in contract terms (DPA, privacy policies, usage policies)
