The SaaS service provides IT governance for a company's Google Docs, to identify files at risk of exposure to unauthorized users inside or outside the company.

Google's Google Docs service is an easy -- and popular -- way for businesses to create, collaborate and provide access to documents, both internally and with sub-contractors, suppliers, customers and other non-employees. But this also means that it's dangerously easy for employees to leave documents exposed -- accessible -- to the wrong parties, or to lose track when, say, somebody leaves a company but still retains access.

As with all security concerns, the corollary is, where companies cannot satisfy compliance and other regulatory requirements, they can't allow employees to use tools that could improve productivity and speed.  Even if exposed data is not copied or misused, industry or government regulations can result in significant fines simply because of the exposure. And data not subject to these regulations and fines might contain information of value to a competitor or other party.
