Get Started with Qualys SaaS Detection and Response

Qualys SaaS Detection and Response (SaaS DR) expands the capabilities of the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform to help enterprises with the security and compliance of their SaaS applications. It provides the IT admins with a single console to connect to their critical SaaS applications, manage them centrally, secure data on critical cloud apps, and help maintain their compliance posture. It is a tool for IT admins to manage SaaS application sprawl effectively.

Benefits of SaaS Detection and Response 

The following are the benefits of SaaSDR :

  • Provide a single console for IT admins to secure their data no matter where it is centrally.
  • Get a consolidated view of external users who have access to internal documents and internal users who are sharing documents externally
  • Get visibility into documents that are exposed and take steps to make them private
  • Get visibility into apps that have given access to sensitive data and take steps to alert and block them
  • Understand the compliance posture of your critical SaaS applications to ensure that they pass industry-standard benchmarks. Currently, we support the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark v3.0.0.

Customizable Dynamic Dashboards

Dashboards help you visualize your data in a central, customizable dashboard and share your environment's compliance status in real-time.

Qualys SaaS DR integrates with the Unified Dashboard (UD) to bring information from all Qualys applications into a single place for visualization. UD provides a powerful, new dashboarding framework and platform service that will be consumed and used by all other products to enhance the existing dashboard capabilities.

Qualys SaaS DR offers several dashboards out-of-the-box. Each dashboard displays a short description of the information it offers. You can also easily configure widgets to pull information from other modules/applications and add them to your dashboard. You can add as many dashboards as you like to customize your view.

Refer to the Unified Dashboard help for more information.

Global Dashboard Permissions

Your access to the Unified Dashboard depends on the global permissions granted to you from the Admin utility. For information on global dashboard permissions, refer to the Online Help in the Admin utility.

When you assign the Global Dashboard permissions to a role, they override the module-specific dashboard permissions, which are ignored.
