What is Software as a Service (SaaS)?

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a cloud computing model in which applications are delivered over the internet, typically through a subscription-based model.

Instead of installing and maintaining software on local machines, users access SaaS applications through a web browser. SaaS providers manage the infrastructure, security, updates, and scalability of the service, allowing businesses to focus on using the software rather than maintaining it.

Examples of SaaS products include trust centre software, customer relationship management (CRM) tools, email services, and productivity applications.

Security considerations for SaaS include ensuring data privacy, access control, and compliance with regulations.
