SaaS
Finished software, consumed over the network. You configure it and feed it data.
Examples
- Microsoft 365, Google Workspace
- Salesforce, ServiceNow
- Datadog, Okta, 1Password
Responsibilities
- Provider: everything except your data and config
- You: users, permissions, data, integrations
Shared-responsibility caveat
Even in SaaS, your data and your users’ access are still your responsibility — this is where most SaaS incidents happen.
