Obsidian Security review
A full SSPM platform with discovery, permission analysis, compliance, and a free tier.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Obsidian Security is a cloud SaaS security platform for enterprise security teams managing third-party applications, integrations, identities, and AI agents. Its SSPM capabilities cover continuous configuration monitoring, misconfiguration and configuration-drift detection, privilege analysis, shadow application discovery, integration risk management, compliance mapping, and automated remediation. The platform is available through web, API, and Chrome extension access, with read-write access capabilities for remediation workflows.
Pricing is structured as a freemium model. The Free plan costs $0 per month and supports up to 1,000 users. It includes discovery of app sprawl, unsanctioned AI, and shadow SaaS, along with spear-phishing detection without manual tuning. Foundations adds visibility into shadow apps, AI, AI agents, integrations, and browser extensions, plus access-violation detection, privilege minimization, compliance audit and mapping, and rightsizing for integration access. Advanced adds account-takeover and session-hijack detection, insider-risk and sensitive-data-exposure detection, runtime guardrails, threat triage and remediation, and full-chain audit and forensics. Foundations and Advanced require a quote.
Its integration coverage spans Google Workspace, GitHub, Microsoft 365, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Snowflake, Databricks, Workday, Okta, OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot, Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic Claude, Google Vertex AI, and Slack. That makes it a fit for teams that need one view across business SaaS, identity systems, developer tools, data platforms, and AI services. Choose Obsidian Security if your priority is broad SaaS posture management with a free starting tier and automated response workflows. Teams seeking a product centered on general infrastructure security or open-source deployment should consider a different category fit.
