What it does

Shadow IT isn't just a security problem, it's a spend problem. This workflow joins the list of discovered unsanctioned apps against expense-report and corporate-card line items pulled from Snowflake, identifies apps that have both unmanaged usage and untracked spend, and records each as a "spend leak" in an Airtable tracker with the merchant, amount, and likely owner so finance and procurement can consolidate or cancel.

When to use it

Use it when finance suspects SaaS spend is fragmented across team credit cards and personal reimbursements. It connects the security discovery signal to dollars, turning a governance task into a cost-recovery one.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule triggers the reconciliation.
  2. 2Pull discovered shadow-IT apps and the week's expense/card line items from Snowflake.
  3. 3Match merchant names to app vendors using normalization rules.
  4. 4Filter to apps that are both unsanctioned and showing spend.
  5. 5Upsert each match into the Airtable spend-leak tracker with amount and owner, then post a weekly summary to the finance Slack channel.
