Problem
Organizations increasingly adopt SaaS and AI tools, leading to fragmented visibility, uncontrolled spending, shadow IT, and compliance risks across multiple jurisdictions. Without a unified view, IT and security teams struggle to detect unauthorized applications, optimize license usage, and ensure adherence to regulations such as GDPR, DORA, and NIS2.
Solution
Avanoo provides a European‑focused SaaS and AI management platform that automatically discovers, catalogs, and continuously monitors every application used within an organization, including shadow IT and browser extensions. The solution maps each tool to a central inventory, evaluates security, legal, and compliance posture of both the applications and their underlying supplier or AI provider, and surfaces real‑time risk scores. Integrated analytics deliver usage trends, cost breakdowns, and adoption metrics, enabling teams to identify unused licenses, duplicate functionality, and cost‑saving opportunities. Built‑in workflow features allow security and compliance teams to launch nudges, surveys, and remediation campaigns directly in users’ browsers, while SSO integrations (Okta, Azure AD) keep data up to date without heavy IT projects. The platform is hosted in EU data centers and designed to meet European regulatory requirements.
Target Audience
Primary customers are European enterprise IT, security, and compliance teams—including CIOs, CISO/RSSIs, and DPOs—who need comprehensive governance of SaaS and AI tool ecosystems.
