# Sola for SaaS Security
SaaS applications store critical business data, yet security controls vary widely across vendors and remain largely invisible to traditional tools.
Sola helps you review security configurations, audit third-party integrations, and surface risky settings across Okta, Google Workspace, GitHub, Salesforce, Slack, and other connected applications.
This page explains the key concepts behind **SaaS Posture Management**, what it is, why it matters, and how Sola helps you monitor it.
Get started with these below **ready-made Ask and Build prompts**, or the **Prompt Library**, both available directly in the Sola chat interface.
Ask: Review SaaS security risks
Copy this prompt into [Sola AI](https://app.sola.security/) to get started:
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```
I want to understand security risks across my SaaS applications. Guide me to identify which SaaS platform I should connect first - such as Okta, Google Workspace, GitHub, or Salesforce - or if I already have one connected, ask me which to use. Then help me discover issues like insecure configurations, risky OAuth apps, weak authentication settings, or third-party integrations that could expose organizational data. Guide me to the best next step to quickly experience Sola's value. Do this as an interactive conversation, guide me one step at a time, avoid long explanations upfront, and pause for my response.
```
{% endcode %}
Build: Monitor my SaaS security posture
Copy this prompt into [Sola AI](https://app.sola.security/) to get started:
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```
I want to build an app that continuously monitors security posture across my SaaS applications. Guide me to identify which SaaS platforms I should connect first - such as Okta, Google Workspace, GitHub, or Salesforce - or if I already have one connected, ask me which to use. Then help me build queries to detect issues like risky OAuth apps, insecure configurations, and weak authentication settings, create canvases showing SaaS security trends over time, and set up alerts for new integrations or weakened security settings. Guide me to the best next step to quickly experience Sola's value. Do this as an interactive conversation, guide me one step at a time, avoid long explanations upfront, and pause for my response.
```

## What is SaaS Posture Management?
SaaS Posture Management is the practice of assessing and improving the security configuration of cloud-based software applications. It covers authentication settings, access controls, OAuth integrations, and admin role assignments across SaaS tools.
In simple terms, SaaS posture management helps answer the question:\
\&#xNAN;***"Are my SaaS tools configured securely, and who has access to what?"***
Risks addressed include:
* Weak authentication settings or disabled MFA across SaaS platforms.
* OAuth apps with excessive or dangerous permission scopes.
* Admin role proliferation across tools.
* Third-party integrations without a security review.
* External and contractor access that has outlasted its purpose.
* Shadow IT: unapproved apps connected via OAuth or SSO.
## Why is SaaS Posture Management important
SaaS tools now store an organization's most critical data, including customer records, source code, financial data, and communications.
Security controls are inconsistent across vendors and largely invisible to traditional tools. Misconfigurations, risky integrations, and unchecked admin roles create exposure that no single platform surfaces on its own.
Every new SaaS tool adds new access paths and OAuth connections that may never get reviewed without active monitoring.
## SaaS Posture Management with Sola
Sola provides a unified view of security posture across all connected SaaS applications, flagging misconfigurations and risky integrations that siloed tools miss.
With Sola, you can:
* **Review** security configurations across major SaaS platforms from a single interface.
* **Audit** OAuth apps and third-party integrations for excessive permissions or risky scopes.
* **Monitor** admin role assignments and flag accounts inconsistent with job function.
* **Detect** shadow IT and unapproved apps connected via OAuth or SSO.
* **Identify** external and contractor access that has outlasted its purpose.
## Prompt library examples
Browse and run these prompts directly from the Prompt library in the Sola chat interface.
OAuth App Risk Review
{% code title="PROMPT" overflow="wrap" %}
```
List all OAuth apps connected to Okta and Google Workspace. Highlight apps with dangerous permission scopes - file access, calendar read, send-as email, user impersonation, or admin API access. Show when each app was authorized and by whom.
```
{% endcode %}
SaaS Security Posture Overview
{% code title="PROMPT" overflow="wrap" %}
```
Review the security posture across Okta, Google Workspace, GitHub, and Salesforce. Highlight settings that weaken authentication, expose data unnecessarily, or allow access without proper authorization controls.
```
{% endcode %}
Contractor & Guest Access Audit
{% code title="PROMPT" overflow="wrap" %}
```
Show all external users, contractors, and guests with active access across SaaS platforms. Flag anyone with access to sensitive systems who hasn’t been active in 14+ days, or whose contract end date has passed.
```
{% endcode %}
Admin Role Proliferation
{% code title="PROMPT" overflow="wrap" %}
```
Identify accounts holding admin roles across SaaS tools. For each, show when the role was granted, whether MFA is enabled, and whether the role appears consistent with the account owner’s job function.
```
{% endcode %}
