Is my Data Safe with SaaS?

Do you want to build a SaaS solution as a developer? Or are you planning to become a vendor for other companies? Either way, you should study all risks, and especially data safety ones.

With traditional software, it’s up to users to make their network secure.

SaaS integration means that a software vendor and cloud provider become responsible for data protection.

What challenges you may face:

  1. Security monitoring.
  2. Data encryption.
  3. Key management.
  4. Data privacy.
  5. Data residency.
  6. IAM (Identity and Access Management).
  7. Incident response.
  8. Integration with other security environments in a company.
  9. Additional expenses (e.g., third-party tools to compensate risks) increasing SaaS development cost.
  10. Poor communication with B2B SaaS technical experts leaves unanswered questions or misunderstandings.

Knowing what kinds of weak spots may occur, you are ready to strengthen them and prevent security risks.

Now you’ve become more prepared to apply SaaS.
