SaaS Sprawl refers to the rapid and often uncontrolled adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) applications within an organization. As cloud-based services become more accessible, departments or individual employees may subscribe to various SaaS tools without IT oversight, leading to a proliferation of applications. This can result in several challenges, including increased security risks, data silos, compliance issues, and unnecessary costs from duplicate or underutilized services. SaaS Sprawl can also complicate IT management, as the organization may lack visibility into all the applications being used. Addressing SaaS Sprawl typically involves implementing centralized SaaS management strategies, conducting regular audits, and establishing clear policies for SaaS adoption and use.
