Your organisation’s reliance on SaaS applications has introduced a critical, often unmanaged, risk that
directly impacts the effectiveness of your existing resilience and compliance programmes. As digital
transformation accelerates, Businesses increasingly depend on cloud-based applications for
their core operations, yet many organisations haven’t extended their traditional risk management
frameworks to adequately address these new dependencies.
“Shadow IT” creates critical dependencies that exist outside your formal Business Continuity and IT Disaster Recovery plans, rendering them incomplete and ineffective during an incident.
Relying on default SaaS vendor retention policies is not a resilience strategy. This critical gap leaves your data exposed to ransomware and corruption, inadequate backups and replication, creating a single point of failure not covered by traditional backup plans.
Furthermore, unmanaged SaaS data jeopardises compliance with the Australian Privacy Act and can create nonconformance with ISO 27001 and APRA standards (CPS 230/234), putting your certification and regulatory compliance at risk.
So the challenge isn’t just about technology4 it’s about the fundamental gap between your established governance frameworks and the reality of modern cloud operations. Your meticulously crafted Business Continuity Plans and IT Disaster Recovery procedures may be comprehensive for on-premises systems, but they likely leave significant blind spots when it comes to your SaaS ecosystem. This disconnect creates a false sense of security that could prove catastrophic during a real incident.
“The most sophisticated resilience framework is only as strong as its weakest link – and unmanaged SaaS dependencies increasingly represent that critical vulnerability.”
