SaaS governance, AI risk and cost · written from the product
Opinionated pieces on shadow AI, offboarding gaps, OAuth-consent risk, KVKK compliance and ghost subscriptions. Each post is grounded in how CenseCloud is actually built.

Banning ChatGPT doesn't work · employees already reach AI through personal accounts, IDE extensions and CLI tools. The four invisible layers and a manageable control ladder.
What stays open in a departed employee's SaaS · the hidden cost of offboarding
An employee left, you closed the AD account. They're still active in Salesforce, Notion, GitHub. The cause is fragmented: SSO blind spots, lastLogon lies, only two JML categories instead of five.
OAuth permissions: who can silently open a door to your SaaS?

The IT-maintained SaaS list is only 40–60% of the real number. The rest hides in anonymous payments, free tiers, personal accounts. Invisible on bills · but eating 20–30% of the budget.
