Entra ID App Sprawl & Poor App Governance are Real Threats
You can't improve what you can’t measure. With sprawling SaaS apps in many tenants, it's important to focus first on the highest risk areas. Overprivileged apps, expired secrets, and ownerless enterprise apps all create massive risk blind spots.
AppGov Score shines a light on your Entra ID app environment by:
- Scanning your tenant for risky applications and misconfigurations
- Providing an easy-to-understand score based on real-world governance standards from Microsoft recommendations and Microsoft MVPs
- Giving you actionable insights and expert guidance via our App Governance & Security community
🛡️You’ll receive a report and score that measures your risk level across 20+ key security and governance checks in your Entra ID tenant, including:
- High-risk apps
- Apps using public client flows
- Apps with no assigned owner
- Overprivileged and BEC-risky apps
- Apps with expired/expiring secrets
- Apps missing admin consent
- Accounts with elevated app permissions
Don't wait for a breach to identify and close gaps in your application governance.

Managing the volume of Entra ID Apps is very challenging. The native Microsoft tools do not make it easy to understand how big the problem is in a tenant. Misconfigured and overprivileged apps are a huge problem and are now being exploited by adversaries. It's awesome ENow has tackled this problem head on.
