Grip Security

What the company sells

Grip Security sells a SaaS Security Control Plane that helps organizations pinpoint, prioritize, and mitigate SaaS identity risks, including shadow SaaS, shadow AI, and rogue cloud accounts. Grip builds an app inventory and links assets to identities. Grip SaaS Security Control Plane (SSCP) uses identity as the key control point. Grip SSCP is an identity-based architectural element for discovering SaaS services and user-SaaS relationships, and for identifying risky access and malicious or abandoned SaaS services.

Grip says AI and SaaS providers are processing sensitive data outside an organization's direct control. Grip also says over 80% of breaches involve compromised credentials. Grip positions identity-first visibility as the way to detect threats early and respond quickly.

For discovery, Grip says customers can connect an email system and an identity provider in 10 minutes to uncover past, current, and future apps. Grip says the optional Grip Extend browser extension adds deeper insights. Grip says its discovery lets customers see which apps employees use, expose dormant accounts, and remove the blind spots created by shadow SaaS and shadow AI. Grip says Grip Extend brings to light risky SaaS identities, including weak passwords, reused logins, shared accounts, and exposed credentials. Grip categorizes OAuth scopes and permissions by risk level, so customers can prioritize threats and revoke access. Grip says it can capture shadow SaaS, usage history, justification, and authentication methods correlated to identities for up to 10 years of history. Grip says it revealed ten times more cloud accounts than IPG was aware of.

For evaluation, Grip says risk scores highlight SaaS risk based on asset, usage, and governance. SSCP creates a unified risk profile based on user adoption, data used, user roles, privileges, and app data sensitivity. Grip says customers can filter risk scores to prioritize the riskiest SaaS apps for follow-up.

For mitigation, Grip says customers can use its built-in workflows as they are or customize them, and run them automatically or trigger them manually. Grip says customers can connect Grip with existing tools to automate actions across the SaaS apps Grip discovers. Grip says customers can revoke access to unsanctioned apps that are not governed by an IdP. Grip says customers can examine OAuth scopes by risk level and revoke unnecessary or excessive app permissions. Grip says it can uncover opportunities to drive SSO and MFA adoption across SaaS apps. Grip says Grip SSCP automates mitigation and remediation processes. Grip describes workflows suited to existing control points, like CASB, endpoint protection, or IAM/SSO.

Grip sells Grip SaaS Security Posture Management, which Grip says delivers full, ongoing control over SaaS misconfigurations, security drift, and compliance gaps. Grip says it automates discovery and visibility so customers always know what risks exist. Grip describes a multi-user offboarding case in which, with Grip, you group identities, trigger credential rotation, and send manager notifications through one automated workflow. Grip says it continuously maps SaaS-to-SaaS integrations, third- and fourth-party connections, and OAuth tokens.

Grip ITDR 2.0 is Grip's identity threat detection and response product. Grip says Grip ITDR 2.0 empowers SecOps to prevent threats and catch those that bypass preventive controls. Grip ITDR 2.0 detects identity threats in real time across all SaaS, detects malicious OAuth grants between apps, and detects installation of malicious browser extensions. Grip ITDR 2.0 enables one-click and automated threat responses. Grip monitors unmanaged SaaS, including threats from browser extensions, OAuth grants, and privilege escalation. Grip combines discovery, posture hardening, and ITDR into a single platform, giving security teams both protection and response.

Grip says it gives a clear, real-world view of how AI is being used across an organization. Grip says it maps identity to AI usage and automates actions based on behavior, and that it integrates with existing security stacks. Grip says its integrations monitor Claude adoption, AI agents, configurations, and activity. Grip says its integrations discover Gemini agents, track ownership and usage, monitor activity, and manage posture risk. Grip says its integrations discover Cursor deployments and usage across developer environments. Grip integrates shadow SaaS management into Jira processes by automating ticket creation as needed.^{[1][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]}
