For SaaS & Software Providers

Your Customers Trust You With Their Data

Demonstrate that trust is earned. Show your customers you're managing their data and systems with enterprise-grade security and compliance.

Maple GRC includes industry-specific tools, threat intelligence, and compliance frameworks built for SaaS providers.

The Unique Challenge: Supply Chain Risk & Data Assurance

As a SaaS provider, you're not just protecting your own infrastructure—you're a critical link in your customers' supply chains. Your security posture directly impacts their risk profile.

What "SaaS Support" Means in Maple GRC

Maple GRC doesn't treat all industries the same. Our SaaS support includes:

  • Tool Configurations: Pre-built configurations for tools SaaS providers use (cloud platforms, identity systems, data protection tools)
  • Threat Intelligence: Real attack scenarios targeting SaaS providers—how adversaries compromise cloud infrastructure, steal customer data, and exploit supply chains
  • Job Function Coverage: Training and controls for SaaS-specific roles (DevOps, Cloud Architects, Data Engineers, Security Engineers)
  • Relevant Compliance: Focus on SOC 2, ISO 27001, and industry-specific standards your customers require

Hundreds of Security Notifications

Every day brings new vulnerability disclosures, threat alerts, and compliance updates. How do you prioritize what actually matters to your customers' risk profile?

1200+ Possible Controls (NIST 800-53)

NIST CSF 2.0 and NIST 800-53 define over 1,200 security controls. Implementing all of them is impossible. Implementing the wrong ones wastes budget and leaves gaps.

Proving Assurance to Customers

Your customers need evidence that you're managing cyber risks responsibly. Security questionnaires, audits, and certifications are table stakes, not differentiators.

Maximizing Cyber Security ROI

You need to invest in controls that reduce your most likely risks and demonstrate the highest assurance value to customers—not generic checkbox compliance.

How Maple GRC Cuts Through the Noise

Maple GRC helps you identify the most relevant controls, implement them efficiently, and prove assurance through internal and external audits.

1

Understand Your Risk Context

Maple GRC automatically analyzes your infrastructure, data flows, software stack, and threat landscape. It identifies the most likely risk scenarios specific to your SaaS platform—not generic threats.

2

Select the Most Relevant Controls

From 1200+ possible controls, Maple GRC surfaces the ones that address your highest risks and deliver maximum assurance value. You implement what matters, not everything.

3

Implement & Track Controls

For each control, Maple GRC provides exact configuration steps, automation guidance, and evidence collection. You know what to do and can prove you did it.

4

Demonstrate Assurance Through Audits

Conduct internal audits to verify controls are working. Prepare evidence for external audits (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CyberSecure Canada). Show your customers you're serious about security.
