Case Study: Bay Cove Human Services achieves complete visibility and control of 3rd-party Google Apps with CloudLock

Bay Cove Human Services Selects CloudLock Apps Firewall to Secure All 3rd Party Apps With Access to Their Google Apps Domain

Bay Cove Human Services is a Boston-based not-for-profit with 1,700 employees providing services across 130 sites. While Google Apps improved collaboration, the abundance of third‑party apps created IT challenges: Bay Cove lacked visibility into which apps had domain access, needed to ensure apps met its Approved Applications Policy, and had to classify apps by risk to protect users and corporate data.

Bay Cove deployed CloudLock Apps Firewall, which automatically discovered and cataloged third‑party apps (91,000+ discovered), showed which users and admins granted access, and enabled risk-based classification by scope, vendor profile and usage. Administrators could revoke inappropriate apps and enforce ongoing monitoring, giving the organization complete visibility and control—turning a sprawling exposure into a manageable, policy‑driven process that Bay Cove’s CIO called indispensable.
