# Misconfiguration posture

DoControl's security posture for misconfigurations gives you high-level metrics about your current misconfiguration snapshot and trends. With actionable, business-aligned visibility, DoControl's security posture provides:

* **Enhanced risk visibility and prioritization -** Visually gauge in a single pane of glass how your organization’s SaaS settings measure up to compliance standards. With SPM snapshot data in hand, you can quickly understand your overall security posture, and pinpoint misconfigurations across diverse systems.
* **Faster incident response and reduced workload** - Your team can take informed security decisions when responding to security incidents, and drill down to remediate the most problematic security domains and app settings
* **Snapshot metrics for strategic communication** - Clearly communicate security vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, and progress to executive leadership in a business-centric way, all based on DoControl’s SPM dashboards and metrics

{% hint style="success" %}

* All DoControl customers can monitor these apps for misconfigurations:
  * Google Workspace
  * GitHub
  * Zoom
* To unlock more apps in DoControl's Premium Misconfiguration solution, contact Customer Success.
* Data in Misconfiguration posture is refreshed twice a day.

## App instances

View misconfiguration data for each instance of your integrated SaaS apps.

Your misconfigurations are displayed by security domain, allowing you to maintain a stronger, more resilient SaaS security posture:

* Quickly pinpoint which aspects of your SaaS security posture are the weakest
* Prioritize remediation efforts in high-impact domains
* Prepare for audits and ensure ongoing adherence to your security policies<br>

By continuously viewing and addressing misconfigurations per domain, you can respond to new risks faster, and prevent configuration drift.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.docontrol.io/docontrol-user-guide/risk-management/misconfigurations-premium/misconfiguration-posture.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
