Mitigate the risks with the help of SoSafe

Shadow IT means employees using unauthorized software, hardware, or applications in the workspace. And this practice can have serious consequences for businesses. While employees may feel that using their preferred tools makes them more productive, it can lead to security vulnerabilities, compatibility issues, and a lack of standardization.

Can shadow IT cause serious harm to your organization?

One of the main dangers of shadow IT is that it can create security risks for an organization. If employees use unauthorized software, they may not realize that it is not properly vetted and could contain malware or other security vulnerabilities. This can put sensitive data at risk and lead to a data breach, which can be costly both financially and in terms of reputation. 

In addition to security risks, shadow IT can lead to compatibility issues. If different departments within an organization use different tools, it can be difficult to share information and collaborate effectively. This can lead to project delays  and miscommunications,  ultimately impacting the bottom line.  

Shadow IT can also lead to a lack of process standardization. Without a clear IT policy in place, employees may use different tools or processes to complete tasks, which may lead to confusion and errors. This can impact the quality of work and make it difficult to maintain consistency across different departments.
