# 1-0. Discover Services (Shadow IT)

> By integrating with Google Workspace, you can detect cloud services used in your organization.

## What is Shadow IT Detection?

There are three methods for Shadow IT detection.

This page explains method ①, detection via Google Workspace. For methods ② and ③, see their respective pages.

1. Detection using sign-in logs
   * [1-1. How Shadow IT Detection Works with Google Workspace (Reference)](/en/it-management/shadow-it/8nwq5urwh5-shadow-it)
   * Google account / Microsoft account sign-ins, and Microsoft Entra ID sign-in logs
2. Detection using the [browser extension](/en/it-management/shadow-it/7q1wryx3dk-extension)
3. [Connect to the Cost Master](/en/it-management/tutorial/qk18kbsiv1-cost-master) to detect SaaS services from payment history

## View Shadow IT

After setting up SaaS integrations (for sign-in-based detection) or distributing the browser extension, detected services appear under Integrations > **Shadow IT**.

Among the [connectable SaaS](/en/integrations/ey32ki15er-function), any **not yet connected** appear under **Shadow IT**.

### Criteria for Shadow IT Review and Management

**Shadow IT** displays SaaS services that are not yet connected. Use the following criteria to prioritize them, then connect them via [3. Connect Your SaaS!](/en/it-management/tutorial/tdxtlisu9v-4).

| Criterion            | Details                                                                                                                |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Information priority | Give top priority to SaaS that handles personal data or highly confidential information.                               |
| Leakage risk         | Prioritize SaaS with numerous users or accounts, or SaaS that uses AI, as these carry a higher risk of data spreading. |
