Key Takeaways: 1. Inventory every SaaS vendor that holds your identity, communications, or user data, and rank them by blast radius. You cannot manage concentration risk you have not measured. The output is a one-page list, ranked by how many users would be exposed if the vendor were breached tomorrow. 2.

SMS codes and push notifications are not sufficient against the current voice-phishing playbook. Apply this to every administrative account at every vendor in your inventory. 3.
