“Our marketing manager left 2 months ago. Last week we found out she still had admin access to our social media accounts, Google Analytics, and HubSpot.”
— SaaS founder, 45 employees
“We had a contractor who we thought we offboarded. Turns out they still had push access to our main GitHub repo and could read every Slack channel.”
— CTO, Series A startup
“I asked my team lead 'who has access to our AWS production environment?' and nobody could give me a straight answer. That's terrifying.”
— CEO, fintech startup
If you can't answer “who has access to what?” in 30 seconds, you need a watchtower.
Sarah left 3 weeks ago. She still has access to everything.
The painful way:
- Ask each team lead what tools she used
- Manually check Google Admin, GitHub settings, AWS IAM, Slack admin
- Hope you didn't miss anything
- Find out 3 months later you missed 5 apps
The ViglaFort way:
- Click "Offboard Sarah"
- See every access she has across all tools
- One click: revoke all
- Done in 60 seconds

"Quick question: who has access to our production database?" Nobody knows.
The painful way:
- Open Google Admin → check groups → note down names
- Open GitHub → check org members → check repo access → note down names
- Open AWS Console → go to IAM → check policies → note down names
- Open a spreadsheet → try to cross-reference → give up because it's outdated
The ViglaFort way:
- Open ViglaFort → type "Who has access to production?" in the chat
- Get an instant answer with names, tools, and permission levels
- Export as CSV for compliance in one click

Your auditor asks for a list of who has access to what. You panic.
The painful way:
- Scramble to build a spreadsheet before the audit
- Manually screenshot every admin console
- Miss half the tools because nobody remembers all of them
- Spend 2 weeks preparing a report that's already outdated
The ViglaFort way:
- Access reviews run automatically every week
- Stale access flagged before it becomes a problem
- Click "Generate audit report" → instant, always current
- Or just ask the AI: "Generate a compliance report for this quarter"

You went from 10 to 50 people this year. Nobody knows who has access to what anymore.
The painful way:
- Every new hire gets "the same access as [person X]" — but nobody checks what X actually has
- Permissions accumulate like barnacles — nobody ever removes the stuff people don't need
- Interns end up with admin access to production because they inherited it from a template
- You find out when something breaks
The ViglaFort way:
- Dashboard shows access growth over time
- Automatic alerts when someone gets unusual permission levels
- Weekly access reviews catch over-provisioned accounts
- AI assistant: "Show me users with admin access who don't need it"

WHY WE BUILT THIS
ViglaFort was built for the companies everyone else forgot.
Small and medium businesses carry access risk with zero visibility and no tools designed for them. We changed that.
