What Nudge Security is
Nudge Security provides visibility and governance for SaaS and AI tools used across an organization. It discovers applications, accounts, identities, activity, and spending, starting with read-only access to Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 email metadata. The service can surface up to two years of historical SaaS activity in an email archive. Its risk intelligence covers AI data exposure, supply-chain breaches, misconfigurations, identity issues, and risky non-human identities. It detects sensitive data shared with AI chatbots through uploads and copy-and-paste, and scores OAuth grants for possible revocation or approval workflows. Connected apps can add access and security-posture insight with automated remediation. Employee nudges can arrive through email, Slack, Teams, or a browser. Plans start at $5 per user per month billed annually; a 14-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. The maker says email is not permanently stored or accessed by humans.
