FAQ
Does this overlap with the cybersecurity register?
Yes — and that's intentional. IT risks include cybersecurity but extend to availability, capacity, data, and project risks. Maintain both with consistent IDs to avoid duplication.
Can the agent identify shadow IT?
Yes. Connected to identity and SaaS-spend signals, the agent flags applications in use but not in the inventory.
What plan supports an IT organization?
Business ($40/mo) recommended for the audit log retention ITGC testing requires.
