Inspect supplier security firsthand.

A vendor says MFA is enforced, but the connected application shows an account without it. We compare available settings, access and exposure with your controls and send the exception to review.

01 · How it works

Check the setting, not only the answer.

Inspect checks MFA, access sprawl, public exposure, and connected apps. Your reviewer sees the observed setting and the risk it creates.

  1. 01

    Agree on access

    We connect with read-only access to the application in scope, using your SSO provider, OAuth, or a read-only credential from your password vault. We show your team what can be checked.

  2. 02

    Inspect security settings

    We check available MFA configuration, permissions, public exposure, and connected applications.

  3. 03

    Bring the exception to review

    We record observed gaps beside the vendor profile and the control your team uses to evaluate them.

  4. 04

    Return after a change

    We repeat appropriate checks when access or configuration changes so the review does not end with the first inspection.

02 · In context

A checkbox is not a configuration.

An MFA answer tells you what the vendor intended. A read-only inspection of available settings tells you what the connected application shows, and gives a reviewer something concrete to investigate.

03 · Capabilities
04 · Advantages

The application check has a source and an owner.

MFA settings in view

Compare available enforcement settings with the answer in the supplier assessment.

Access sprawl surfaced

Look for permissions and connected accounts that exceed what the role requires.

Public exposure examined

Bring exposed settings into the vendor risk review with the observed evidence.

Read-only inspection

Inspect with read-only access, without changing the vendor's configuration.

05 · Questions

How do application checks work?

What the read-only connection can show.

Does this replace a questionnaire?

No. We add observed application evidence. Your questionnaire still covers controls we cannot check directly.

What access do you need?

Read-only access to the application in scope, through your SSO provider, OAuth, or a read-only credential from your password vault. We agree on the checks with you.

Who decides whether a setting matters?

Your risk team compares the observation with its controls and decides how to respond.

Can you check settings behind a login?

Yes, when read-only access to the application is in place. Settings we cannot reach stay in the questionnaire.
