Frequently Asked Questions
What is shadow IT?
Shadow IT is technology and IT services that employees or departments start using outside the IT department, so the organization loses track of agreements, data, and costs.
How does PerformanceGuard give an overview of shadow IT?
PerformanceGuard monitors network, application, and user behavior and makes the data available, so you can see for yourself which applications and cloud services are used across the organization.
Can I see where my data is processed and stored?
Yes. With PerformanceGuard’s data you can see for yourself where on the internet a given IT service processes and stores the company’s data.
Why is shadow IT a problem for GDPR and NIS2?
Shadow IT means employees can place personal and business-critical data in systems the organization has not registered — and a register that is incomplete cannot document where data is. PerformanceGuard delivers the data on which web and cloud services are actually used, so you can decide for yourself which ones belong in the documentation.
