Regulatory & Compliance

Every breach deadline asks the same question: what actually happened?

Posture tells you how your SaaS is configured. Mitiga tells you what happened inside it: normalized activity across ~100 platforms, retained 1,000+ days — so the answer exists before a regulator asks.

Security sees SaaS risk, and can’t fix it alone

The permissive integration often is the business process.

Posture management assumes whoever finds the problem can fix it. In SaaS they can’t: the permissive Salesforce profile belongs to RevOps, the sharing default to Legal, the OAuth grant to whoever installed the app. A finding isn’t an action, it’s a request to a business owner, and many are declined for good reason.

Every declined finding becomes accepted risk. Its only compensating control is something that can watch the activity in runtime.

There is no compensating control for a log you never kept.

Why this matters nowThe risk that turns into loss isn’t a misconfiguration

Clear the entire posture backlog and the dominant SaaS attack pattern of the last two years is untouched, because it runs on valid access. Attackers don’t break in; they log in.

Salesloft Drift

AUG 2025

Compromised OAuth tokens for a sanctioned integration reached Salesforce data at 700+ orgs, with ordinary user-agents, and nine days undetected.

Gainsight

NOV 2025

Same pattern, a quarter later — 200+ companies, a FINRA advisory issued.

Snowflake

2024

~165 orgs breached with valid credentials from infostealers. No vulnerability, no misconfiguration.

Storm-0558

JUL 2023

Forged tokens against Microsoft 365. Most victims couldn’t scope it — the telling logs sat behind a premium license tier.

Configuration was correct throughout. The attack lived only in the activity record — and that’s where the losses came from.

How Mitiga solves itRetained evidence, runtime detection, answers inside the window

Mitiga is Agentic Runtime Security for cloud, SaaS, identity, and AI — four things working together for compliance.

01

The evidentiary record

Agentless collection across ~100 platforms, normalized and retained 1,000+ days, far past native windows of 90 days (Okta) or ~180 days (Google Workspace/Purview). Held outside the source, exportable for legal hold, regulators, or insurers.

02

Monitoring you can demonstrate

Credential abuse, MFA/conditional-access bypass, privilege escalation, lateral movement, configuration drift, OAuth grants, non-human identity activity, data exfiltration, AI/agent activity, and continuous threat hunting.

03

Answers inside the reporting window

One cross-platform attack timeline, scope and impact, documented root cause, retrospective hunting against 1,000+ days of history in hours, and regulator- and board-ready reporting.

04

AI systems, built for runtime

Rules written in runtime verbs — event logging (EU AI Act Art. 12), post-market monitoring (Art. 72), detection of prompt injection and poisoning (Art. 15(5)) — including agents acting with delegated credentials.

For AI there's no posture-first option: the behavior the rules ask about doesn't exist until the system runs.

The risk argumentPosture works on likelihood. Runtime detection works on impact.

Days instead of months is the line between zero-impact and a breach.

Dimension

With Mitiga (runtime)

Posture / SSPM alone

Blast radius

Bounded in practice: anticipating, detecting, and catching in runtime instead of after impact.

Bounded in theory by least privilege; in practice by what the business tolerated.

Scope & report

The deliverable: what was accessed, by whom, when, and how much.

None. Configuration state doesn't record events.

Who must approve

Nobody. Agentless, unilateral, changes nothing in the business.

A business owner, per finding, forever.

Residual risk

Covers exactly that residual, right where the breaches happen.

Everything accepted, by-design, and every valid credential in the estate.

AI spotlightWhat Mitiga provides against AI-focused regulations

Continuous event logging icon

Continuous event logging

Automatic recording of AI and agent activity — inputs/outputs, tool and API calls, model changes — retained beyond the six-month statutory minimum.

Runtime attack detection icon

Runtime attack detection

Prompt injection, data and model poisoning, adversarial/evasion inputs, model tampering, and extraction attacks — expressed as behavior, not configuration.

Behavioral drift monitoring icon

Behavioral drift monitoring

How a system and its agents actually behave in production over time, so drift is visible as a trend, not discovered at the next assessment.

Agent and NHI activity icon

Agent & NHI activity

What an agent reached, on whose authority, and whether that pattern is normal — the fastest-growing privileged actor, with no human to ask.

Data exposure detection icon

Data exposure detection

Sensitive and personal data reaching or leaving models and agents — bulk retrieval, unusual destinations, abnormal access patterns.

Incident detection and reporting icon

Incident detection & reporting

What an AI incident reached, how far it spread, and a report in the required form — while preserving system state (Art. 73(6)).

Retained AI evidence

AI and agent activity held for more than 1,000 days in the same normalized record as cloud, SaaS, and identity activity — so an incident can be traced into the systems the agent touched, rather than stopping at the model boundary.

Coverage by regulationTwo halves of every framework, and the half with deadlines

Every regulator splits into “configure it correctly” and “prove what happened.” The second is triggered by an attacker, in hours, and it’s where every hard number lives.

72 h

NIS2 & GDPR notification

The takeaway

A config failure produces a remediation item. An evidence failure produces the sentence that draws enforcement and litigation: “the entity was unable to determine the scope of unauthorized access.”

Configuration is where a program should end up, not where it starts

Posture reduces exposure, but ends where compromise begins; it reports a state, not a change, and needs a business owner’s yes to fix anything.

A snapshot can’t answer a change-management or audit clause that is written in events. And AI rules, written around a running system, are where posture-first offers least.

You don’t meet a breach-notification deadline by scanning harder. You meet it by having kept the evidence — and being able to read it before the clock runs out.
