Secure SaaS

Check whether a SaaS tenant or identity provider is configured securely, by running cnspec against its API. You ask "is our GitHub org / Okta tenant / Google Workspace hardened?" and this skill picks the right scan; cnspec carries the policies.

When to use

• Auditing a source-control org (GitHub / GitLab): branch protection, 2FA enforcement, repo visibility, token/app policies.
• Auditing an identity provider (Okta, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace): MFA, admin roles, session and sharing settings.
• Auditing collaboration / data SaaS (Slack, Atlassian, Snowflake) for access and config risks.

What cnspec checks

• Source control — mondoo-github-security, mondoo-github-best-practices, mondoo-gitlab-security
• Identity / productivity — mondoo-okta-security, mondoo-m365-security, mondoo-google-workspace-security
• Collaboration / data — mondoo-slack-security, mondoo-atlassian-security, mondoo-snowflake-security

Run a scan

cnspec scan github --organization <org>   -o sarif   # requires a GitHub token
cnspec scan okta                          -o sarif   # requires Okta org + API token
cnspec scan ms365                         -o sarif   # requires an Entra ID app registration
cnspec scan google-workspace              -o sarif   # requires a service account
cnspec scan slack                         -o sarif   # requires a Slack token

• Each provider authenticates with that SaaS's API credentials — the exact flags/env for token, org, and app registration are in the cnspec docs per provider.
• Logged in to Mondoo Platform, assigned policies run automatically; otherwise --incognito -f <bundle>.
• -o sarif for a CI gate; cnspec exits non-zero on failures.

Reference, don't duplicate

cnspec owns the policies and authoring (see the cnspec repo). This skill invokes cnspec and interprets results — it does not reimplement policy.

Compliance

SaaS policies map to CIS benchmarks (where published), SOC 2, ISO 27001, and vendor best practices — a scan doubles as a compliance check.

Part of the secure-your-stack toolkit

secure-saas is the SaaS & identity pillar of posture, alongside secure-os (hosts), secure-cloud (cloud accounts), and secure-ai-services (AI). Needs cnspec (install) plus API credentials for the target SaaS.
