## Executive Summary

Grip Security finds the SaaS and AI apps employees adopt outside IT, then automates offboarding and flags which need single sign-on. A security team that wires that work into daily operations cannot drop it without reabsorbing manual cleanup. PDS Health, a 14,000-employee healthcare group, credits it with about 400 hours saved on single sign-on. The quantified growth proof is from 2023, when the Series B reported multiple Fortune 500 clients and bookings up over 400 percent. More recent public proof is limited to 22 Gartner Peer Insights reviews averaging 4.9. Convergence by SaaS posture and identity vendors is a risk this analysis flags rather than one the record documents, so Grip is hard to dislodge where a team runs it daily and replaceable where it does not.
