Porcia
Use Case

Your SSO doesn't see everything. Porcia does.

Your SSO does not see everything. Porcia adds connected workspace email and optional browser signals to surface more of your software environment.

The problem

The average company runs over 800 apps, and the majority were never formally approved. Your SSO provider shows you which apps are connected through it. Your endpoint tool shows you what's installed on managed devices. Neither of them can see the Notion workspace someone set up with a personal email, the AI writing tool a copywriter is paying for on expenses, or the BI tool a data analyst signed up for during a free trial six months ago.

That invisible layer — the apps adopted outside any formal process — is where most of the real exposure lives. Data is shared, credentials are created, OAuth grants accumulate, and IT has no idea any of it is happening.

The gap between what IT thinks is in use and what employees actually use keeps widening. Every team move, every new hire, every "I'll just try this tool" decision adds to it.

How Porcia solves it

Signals beyond SSO

SSO shows apps provisioned through your identity provider. Porcia adds connected workspace email and optional browser signals to surface personal-email signups, free-tier tools, and apps adopted outside your managed inventory.

Usage signals by user

Where connected sources provide the signal, see who signed up for what, when they last logged in, and whether they used a work or personal email. Coverage depends on the sources you connect.

Alerts when new signals appear

When connected sources surface a new SaaS tool, Porcia can bring it to your attention. You set the risk threshold; Porcia helps monitor the signals.

Risk classification out of the box

Porcia cross-references every discovered app against known risk signals — data access scopes, security certifications, and vendor history — so you can prioritize what to review first.

Common questions

Any SaaS tool adopted by employees without going through IT approval or procurement. This includes free-tier apps, personal signups using work email, and trial accounts that converted without anyone noticing.
When your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 tenant is connected with the required authorization, Porcia analyzes available email metadata and patterns — such as SaaS receipts, account confirmation emails, and vendor notifications — to surface apps outside your identity provider. Coverage depends on the sources you connect.
Yes. You can configure alerts by category (e.g. AI tools, finance apps, developer tools) or by risk level, so your team is notified about the apps that matter most.
Porcia surfaces and classifies. Blocking or restricting access is handled through your existing identity provider or endpoint management tooling — Porcia gives you the inventory and risk context to make those decisions.
Timing depends on the connected source. Email signals may surface within hours after a receipt, confirmation, or notification arrives; initial inventory is typically available within 24 hours.
