Find Ghost Admins and Orphan Service Accounts
Every SaaS has at least one admin that left the company two years ago. That account is the breach you haven't had yet.
Who this is for
Security, IT, and Compliance leads at any company with privileged SaaS access.
When this happens
Pre-pentest, post-incident review, compliance audit, or any access-hygiene initiative.
The workflow
- 1.Connect every SaaS where admin roles exist (Slack, GitHub, AWS, Okta, Microsoft 365, etc.).
- 2.SeatMap enumerates every admin / owner / service account.
- 3.Each is mapped back to a current HRIS-active human owner — or flagged as orphan.
- 4.Orphan admins surface with last activity, scope, and recommended action (rotate, transfer, revoke).
- 5.Quarterly re-check makes sure no new orphans accumulate.

FAQ
What about service accounts we genuinely need?
Sanctioned service accounts can be tagged with a human business owner — they stop showing up as orphans once owned, but remain visible in the inventory.
Can we rotate credentials directly from SeatMap?
For tools that support it (AWS, GitHub, Okta), yes. For others, SeatMap generates the rotation runbook and tracks completion.
Does this affect ongoing automations?
No — discovery is read-only. You only take action on orphans you explicitly approve.
