Third-Party & OAuth Risk Management
OAuth Was Built for Speed,
Not Security
OAuth makes it easy to connect applications. It also makes it easy to over-grant access. Once approved, third-party applications can create a silent, persistent attack surface outside traditional IAM controls.
For every employee, there are on average 45 non-human identities: service accounts, API keys, automation bots, AI agents — and a growing number of SaaS-to-SaaS OAuth connections. Most have never been reviewed. Many are no longer needed. All of them are active attack surfaces.
This integration has admin-level privileges and hasn't been used in 18 months.
From “Approved Apps” to Living Access Relationships
Treats OAuth grants as static approvals. Once clicked, it's forgotten.
Treats them as active identity relationships — continuously evaluated for risk, scope, and relevance.
...and what could it reach if abused?
The Integrations You Finally See
These aren’t theoretical risks — they’re live access paths.
Over-Scoped OAuth Grants
Applications with permissions far beyond operational needs.
Abandoned Integrations
Apps that still have access — even though no one uses them.
Excessive Privileges
Third-party tools with admin-level or data-wide access.
Weak Connectors
Integrations that bypass modern security controls.
Cross-App Exposure
One integration opening access to multiple systems.
NIS2 & DORA Blind Spots
OAuth grants that haven't been reviewed represent a compliance gap under NIS2 Article 21 and DORA's ICT third-party risk requirements. Cydenti surfaces them automatically.
Visualizing
Third-Party Reach
This is where teams say: “We didn’t realize it could do that.”
- Select a third-party application
- See every user, SaaS app, and dataset it can access
- Understand scope breadth at a glance
- Identify escalation paths through connected systems
Security Without
Breaking the Business
Security teams gain control. Business teams keep their workflows. Cydenti enables safe scope reduction and controlled offboarding of unused apps without disrupting productivity.
Supply Chain Risk Has
Moved Up the Stack
Third-party risk is no longer just about vendors. It’s about software acting inside your environment.
A Primary Breach Vector
Attackers bypass firewalls by riding on approved integrations.
A Persistence Mechanism
OAuth tokens allow access long after passwords are changed.
A Compliance Blind Spot
Auditors asking about data access — and NIS2 / DORA requiring continuous evidence of third-party access governance. Cydenti closes this gap automatically.
Cydenti closes this gap by treating third-party access as first-class identity risk.
Third-Party Risk Is Identity Risk
OAuth insights don't live in a silo. They feed directly into the bigger picture.
Identity Risk Scoring
Over-scoped apps amplify risk scores.
Identity Threat Detection
Abuse patterns trigger real-time detection.
Compliance Reporting
Automated evidence of access governance.
Third-party access becomes visible, measurable, and governable.
