You paused before clicking "Allow access to Google Drive" today.
Three of your employees didn't.
Employees are granting unvetted AI summarizers and third-party apps persistent access to corporate Drive files and mailboxes. HookGuard surfaces shadow IT, isolates rogue automation pipelines, and generates executive compliance evidence for leadership. Zero endpoint agents. Keyless deployment. Domain audit in 90 seconds.
1 Employee = 15+ Permanent Backdoors
The average employee connects 15 to 25 third-party tools via "Sign in with Google." Over 80% sit completely abandoned, leaving persistent refresh tokens reading, modifying, and exporting your Google Drive and Gmail data in the background.
The "Involuntary IT Admin" Trap
Business leaders are focused on operations, not untangling granular Google Drive permissions. Every time an employee clicks "Sign in with Google" on a consumer AI tool or productivity plugin, they hand over long-term programmatic access to corporate data.
Google Admin doesn't proactively alert you to third-party scope drift or automated data pipelines. HookGuard does.
The Shadow Data Siphon
Employees routinely grant workflow orchestrators (Zapier, Make, n8n) and external AI models full read/write access to corporate Drive storage and Gmail without executive review.
The Password & 2FA Fallacy
Standard credential controls do not revoke long-lived Google Apps Scripts, Marketplace integrations, or automation pipelines. Enforcing 2FA or changing passwords leaves persistent machine-to-machine integrations active in the background.
Zero-Friction Visibility
Connect any Google Workspace tenant in 90 seconds via keyless Domain-Wide Delegation (DWD). Surface rogue OAuth tokens, public Drive links, and stale ROT storage without installing endpoint software on employee machines.
Automated Liability Transfer
Generate audit-ready evidence ledgers mapped to SOC 2 (CC6.1) and CASA Tier 2 controls. Executives review exposure, sever unapproved tokens with one click, and delegate continuous posture monitoring to their MSP.

Stop Absorbing Unbilled Audit Labor
Google Admin's native console lacks per-user scope drift detection and cannot isolate shadow automation bots from standard logins. To identify who granted permissions to a specific tool, technicians are forced to manually click through Directory ➔ Users ➔ [User] ➔ Security across every employee account.
At 6 minutes (0.1 hrs) per seat, manual audits drain technician hours. On 25 client domains averaging 10 to 40 seats, your team loses 25+ hours every month to manual profile reviews—absorbing over $1,625/mo in unbilled technician labor.
HookGuard is an API-first, zero-trust governance platform built for multi-tenant MSP cockpits. It coordinates BigQuery cold audit sinks, Google Drive rate-limit backoffs, and Cloud Tasks workers into a 90-second automated sweep. You run the assessment, transfer liability to client leadership, and bundle high-margin compliance retainers.
