The sprawl became invisible
By 2024 the average enterprise was running 250+ SaaS apps with shadow IT and shadow AI multiplying weekly. Existing tools shipped marketplace logos and dashboard glamour · not depth on the systems that mattered.
About
Make SaaS governance honest in the AI era.
CenseCloud is a focused platform · not a marketplace, built so the systems your business runs on become visible, accountable and predictable. We answer one question well: who's using what, at what risk, at what cost?
Built around identityReal depth across five system classesKVKK-first, by architecture
Why we exist
The governance gap got bigger. The tools got shinier.
We started CenseCloud after watching the same pattern across enterprises: SaaS sprawl outgrowing the visibility tools meant to govern it, while compliance frameworks kept raising the floor.
The stakes changed overnight
KVKK, GDPR, the EU AI Act, ISO 27001 and NIST CSF stopped being a footnote. Auditors started asking concrete questions: who has access, since when, with what scope, where's the evidence?
We chose depth over breadth
Five system classes. Identity-centric. Read-only by default. In-network where it matters. KVKK as a dedicated risk layer · not a bolt-on. CenseRisk for governance. CenseCost for what's being paid for. One inventory.
What we believe
Six principles that show up in every commit.
Each one constrains what we ship · when a feature would break one of them, the feature loses.
Identity-centric by construction
Every action ties to a real user, a real device, a real auth context. Inventories built on URLs alone are noise · they can't tell you who has access or who lost it.
Depth over breadth
We integrate with five system classes · Identity, Endpoint, SaaS, AI and Compliance · and go deep on each. Our committed scope for every class is written down, so you can check it before you buy.
Read-only by default
Our connectors never write to your AD, your IdP, or your storage. Read access only · the connector is built that way, so there is no switch to flip.
Changing it would mean a rewrite
We stay off your traffic path, and the collector takes destination and action only. Both are consequences of how the product is built, so changing either one means changing the architecture.
KVKK as a first-class layer
Bilingual product end-to-end. KVKK is a dedicated risk layer next to GDPR · same audit weight, same export depth. Tenant-scoped AES-256-GCM encryption. Audit log from connect to revoke.
Transparent integration status
Every connector carries a status: GA, Review, or Roadmap. A Roadmap item is never demoed as a live one.
And what we don't do
Four things we turned down.
Each one was on the table, and each was rejected for a reason that still holds.
Proxying your traffic
Your traffic goes straight to the application. There is no interception point and no TLS termination on that path. The endpoint agent runs on user devices only · never on prod servers, databases or domain controllers.
InsteadTelemetry-only · we sit off the data path.
Inspecting content
We read the destination and the action · which app, what risk. DOM content, email bodies and form fields stay outside the collector.
InsteadAction + destination risk scoring.
Faking feature parity
Every connector ships with GA, Review, or Roadmap labeling. We won't list a logo and call it an integration if it doesn't ship today.
InsteadA clear status on every connector.
Locking you into our format
KVKK, GDPR, ISO 27001 and NIST CSF exports are standard. Your audit-ready evidence is portable from day one.
InsteadFramework-standard exports, always available.
How we work
Setup, then live.
Two phases. No months-long professional services contract. The MSI is zero-touch · your existing MDM does the heavy lifting.
Hours → 1 week
1 · Hours
Setup
IT admin grabs the MSI from the dashboard (Firm Code + Enrollment Secret included) and pushes it through your preferred channel · Intune, Group Policy, RMM, or manual. AD/domain not required.
2 · Same day → 1 week
Live
MSI installs silently, browser extension and agent auto-enroll. Initial inventory fills in hours; meaningful risk and cost data within a week. Optional AD connect: 5 minutes after configuration, lifecycle is live.
