# SaaS Security Checks
SaaS Security Checks provides security telemetry for posture misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance in one unified view. This consolidated dashboard provides a queryable, prioritized view of your attack surface, accelerating automated triage, incident response, and compliance auditing.
The dashboard captures the following key metrics to help you remediate assets at risk:
* SaaS Security Check Score: Renders the current, aggregate security posture score as a normalized percentage, while also tracking score volatility over a rolling 90-day window to monitor long-term posture drift.
* Overall Compliance: Monitors adherence to mapped compliance standards and frameworks.
* Provider Instances by Security Check Score: Categorizes individual SaaS tenant configurations (such as Salesforce, Mural, or Google Workspace) to identify low-performing integrations, based on their security scores.
* Issues to Address: Acts as a prioritized vulnerability backlog, organizing discovered misconfigurations by severity to guide triage queues.
Optionally, you can also navigate to **Module > SaaS > Security Checks > Posture** to view a tabular list of Posture Issues filtered by SaaS Issues. Select any Issue to view a full list of **Remediation Actions**. Here you can also view the **Evidence** section, that includes granular information about specific application settings that lead to misconfigurations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam/cloud-security/cortex-cloud-ai-security/cortex-cloud-saas-security/saas-security-checks.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
