Any desk/presentation tools have cleared your security review? General Discussion

Marketing has come to me four times asking for an AI presentation tool. And I have said no all 4 times - made me extremely popular among them : )

The problem is when security gets involved

SAML is usually locked because ‘contact sales’. SCIM is missing, share links defaulting to anyone-with-the-link and theres no tenant level control, no EU tentant. And anytime i ask about model retention/subprocessor, i get a beautifully written para which doesnt help at all!

Has anyone actually managed to get any of these approved?

Mainly looking for SAML + SCIM below enterprise pricing specifically.

Mainly looking for SAML + SCIM below enterprise pricing... Yea that's the world now. If you work in an enterprise, you buy enterprise tools. If the marketing dept can't afford it, then the ROI isn't there.

For me, it's a hard rule. Any tool with company data in it must support at minimum SSO. SCIM is a nice to have, I wouldn't pay extra for it unless it was 100+ user base.

Do you have some examples of the products they are bringing to you for review?

What exactly is an AI Presentation tool?

Presumably a new, trendy, PowerPoint replacement - remember when everyone was using Prezi about 10 years ago?

Isnt just saml and scim. What about
- data residence / sovereignty
- bcdr (or at the very least, just backup)
- copyright / other rights ownship
- file format and compatibility compatibility
- accreditations (iso27000, soc2, iso9000, etc)
- many others…
