DLA Piper Achieves Centralized SaaS Security and Accelerates Remediation with AppOmni

The Challenge

As DLA Piper accelerated its adoption of SaaS platforms, the firm faced new challenges safeguarding sensitive client data and maintaining compliance. The shift to the cloud introduced a shared responsibility model, increasing complexity and placing new demands on security, visibility, and risk management.

Key challenges included:

• Difficulty maintaining oversight and control in a rapidly expanding SaaS environment
• Reliance on service owners and platform-specific tools, leading to inconsistent security and risk of misconfiguration
• Lack of centralized  visibility across multiple applications and business units
• Increased risk of critical security gaps as cloud footprint grew and configurations multiplied

Manual, time-consuming processes that left the firm vulnerable to emerging threats

“We needed to gain visibility into our SaaS footprint to provide ongoing monitoring capabilities. We needed visibility in one place.”

— Matt Finn, Information Security Director, DLA Piper
