Businesses are relying more and more on a growing SaaS ecosystem to drive productivity, collaboration, and innovation. And why not? SaaS is cost effective, scalable, and easy to use.  

But with growth comes risk in the form of unchecked app sprawl. This SaaS sprawl can result in unapproved tech being used at your business (Shadow IT), which can lead to data breaches, data loss, credential compromises, compliance violations, and potentially millions of dollars in lost revenue. 

While tools like LastPass SaaS Monitoring offer critical visibility into app usage, visibility alone isn’t enough. Your business needs the power to act – to stop SaaS risk and credential misuse in its tracks.  

Enter LastPass SaaS Protect

Introducing LastPass SaaS Protect 

SaaS Protect builds upon LastPass SaaS Monitoring capabilities to transform visibility into action:  

  • Block high-risk apps.  
  • Alert users to weak credentials in real-time. 
  • Establish and enforce usage policies.  
  • Guide user behavior through customizable warning messages.  

All within a single dashboard. No agents. No third-party tools. 

See Risk. Stop Risk. 

SaaS Protect helps safeguard the business applications that power your organization. Insights become actionable. Your security becomes stronger.  

  • Enforce app policies instantly: Classify applications as Approved, Warn, or Blocked to restrict unapproved or risky tools.  
  • Address credential weakness: Detect reused or weak passwords and guide users toward stronger password hygiene. 
  • Track every enforcement: View audit logs and usage reports that provide full visibility into app usage, policy actions, and security posture, which can map to common compliance frameworks.  

What LastPass SaaS Protect Can Do for You 

SaaS Protect isn’t just a security tool. It’s an integral part of your larger security strategy, helping you to secure the tools your business depends on the most. 

Govern SaaS usage with enforced app policies 

Define and enforce policies that determine which apps are allowed, restricted, or blocked to prevent access to unsanctioned or high-risk SaaS and generative AI tools before they become a threat. Safe usage can also be guided through custom messaging. 

Prevent account takeover from credential misuse 

Weak credentials – the leading cause of data breaches – are often overlooked. SaaS Protect detects weak or reused passwords in real time and alerts security teams before compromised credentials can be exploited by attackers. 

Demonstrate compliance with audit-ready reporting 

Generate detailed governance reports that align with frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR. These reports help prove compliance to auditors and customers, reinforcing trust and accountability. 

Optimize SaaS spend by eliminating redundancy 

Duplicate, unused, or abandoned apps contribute to tech sprawl and wasted spend. SaaS Protect helps you identify and remove these inefficiencies, streamlining your SaaS environment and cutting unnecessary costs. 

Smart SaaS Security Starts with LastPass SaaS Protect 

The challenge: Cracking down on rogue apps and weak credentials can create friction.  

SaaS Protect helps you take control of app access without slowing down your teams. With clear usage visibility and one-click policies, business leaders can make informed decisions about which tools to support, retire, or restrict all without interrupting workflows. They can also guide users to approved and sanctioned apps, allowing them to do their jobs efficiently and securely. 

The challenge: Traditional SaaS security tools are too expensive, complex, and slow to implement. 

For IT teams, SaaS Protect delivers control over app access, credential hygiene, and user behavior – all from a lightweight intuitive dashboard. Just clear, actionable protection that helps you reduce risk, support compliance, and stay ahead of threats. It’s security that works with your workforce, not against it. 

SaaS Monitoring and SaaS Protect offer a smarter, simpler alternative to SaaS risk. Together, they give you full visibility and control over your SaaS environment – all from a single LastPass dashboard.
