Thanks for hunting @mwseibel and hello fellow Hunters! 🔎 Have you ever discovered a former employee still having access to one of your SaaS applications? 🌟 Look no further! With AccessOwl, you can detect every application and its users, ensuring no user account is forgotten during offboarding! I'm Philip, the Co-Founder and CEO of AccessOwl. Having faced numerous challenges in managing user access to SaaS applications in my previous companies, we developed AccessOwl to simplify your team's access management. 🤯 The Problem Have you encountered former employees with access to your SaaS tools? Trust me, it happens to all of us. The issue is that most organizations struggle to track the SaaS applications in use and, worse, don't know who has access to which tool. This leads to orphaned user accounts, costing you money and posing a security risk. 🌟 The Solution By connecting to your Google Workspace, AccessOwl automatically scans your entire organization for all SaaS tools and user accounts in use. Picture this: One of our customers believed they were using 100 applications. Guess how many we discovered? 300! With AccessOwl offboarding becomes significantly easier: 1. Trigger an offboarding within AccessOwl or directly in Slack. 2. AccessOwl prompts the application admin to offboard the users or can optionally delete the user accounts on your behalf (available in the paid version). 🦉 What is AccessOwl? AccessOwl manages your team's access to any SaaS application, eliminating the manual work of creating, deleting, and documenting SaaS access. By integrating with Google and Slack workspaces, it simplifies the process, allowing employees to: 💥 Request and approve access in Slack 💥 Automatically provision user accounts 💥 Streamline employee on- and offboarding 💥 Keep track of all access, making SOC2, ISO27001, HIPAA audits a breeze 💥 ... and now, it also discovers applications and user accounts! 🎁 For PH launch users only: Use the new AccessOwl Discovery feature completely free of charge! 💡 Do you have any feedback or ideas on how we can improve AccessOwl? We'd love to hear from you in the comments! ~Philip

Great tool that saves so much work and unwanted surprises! Great to see how you are developing your product further 🎉

@lnxsky Indeed, and these surprises could mean that you don't get your certification... Appreciate the support, Lennart!

Congrats on the launch, AccessOwl team! Really love how y'all are solving this problem - it's hard to even keep track of how many SaaS applications we're using off the top of my head! Honestly, I could see this being super useful even for single digit headcount teams :)

@zhenghaooo You are right. I recently sat down with Mathias and we were thinking how we can be more useful for smaller teams. And I myself often feel like I'm loosing track of the software and accounts we've been using. Hope to see you try it and let me know what you think!

As someone running a startup with an increasing array of SaaS tools, this sounds really valuable!

@rahul_pandey1 I promise, it will very helpful for you. Let me know if you need anything, Rahul!
Felix Eichler
Really nice, this is going to be a game changer for access management audits for ISO 27001!

@felixeichler Absolutely! Using it means having a checkmark next to "Access Controls" of your certification. Thank you, Felix!

congratulations! Indeed what you are doing is much needed. I am certainly your customer

It is very handy to fetch all the existing permissions from GSuite and handle them on slack. Otherwise I need to check it every now and then whenever I have a breach paranoia 🙃 Does it notify me on slack when an employee gives access to a 3rd party app?
Mathias Nestler
Maker
@mihriminaz That's indeed an amazing idea! We heard that alerting on these kind of events would help people a lot to keep an eye on what's happening in their organizations, especially interested for CISOs. We plan to launch a feature like that soon!

This is an awesome solution that is much needed! Congrats on the launch!

Thanks Jensen!
Niklas Higi
AccessOwl is a must-have for startups that have to do proper access reviews for ISO/SOC2 but don't have the budget for Enterprise budget solutions like Okta yet! Give it a try and see what kind of unused user accounts you didn't know you still had lying around ;)

@shroudedcode Well said, Niklas! Appreciate your fantastic support!
