Application Owner

The Application Owner page gives business application owners a clear overview of the applications they are responsible for, and turns each finding into an owned action via the same delegation flow used elsewhere in Bsure.

It is designed to answer simple but important questions:

• What is the cost of my applications?

• Are there security risks related to usage or geography?

• Are there renewals or expiring credentials that require action?

Overview and Cost

Shows:

• Number of applications you own

• Total monthly application cost

• Monthly potential savings

Use this to:

• Understand total financial responsibility

• Identify over-provisioned applications

• Prepare for renewals

Security (Geo-Risk)

Shows:

• Users outside home country

• Users outside home region

Use this to:

• Identify unusual geographic usage

• Detect potential compliance risks

• Start investigation if access appears abnormal

Home decided by Application Owner usage location setting in Entra ID

Business Interruption

Shows:

• Expiring credentials (30 days)

Use this to:

• Prevent service disruptions

• Renew certificates and secrets in time

What you'll see, and why it matters — the assessments

Bsure surfaces seven assessment types for the applications you own. Each one names a finding and suggests the next action.

App usage

No users found

• What it gives you: a clear decommission signal — the application has no active users, ready for the conversation about retiring it.

N user(s) have not logged in during the last N day(s)

• What it gives you: the licenses to reclaim — typically leavers or role changes that didn't get cleaned up.

Geo-risk

N user(s) outside <country>

• What it gives you: the geo-anomaly list to validate (e.g. travel) or investigate.

N user(s) outside <region>

• What it gives you: regional posture for region-restricted contracts (GDPR data sovereignty, etc.).

Renewal hygiene

License has been renewed N day(s) ago — update renewal date

• What it gives you: a prompt to keep renewal metadata accurate so cost calculations and alerts run on real dates.

License is up for renewal in N day(s) — potentially save $X

• What it gives you: the right-sizing value before the renewal locks in for another year — one of the largest annual cost-control moments.

Business continuity

Secret expires in N day(s) / today / N day(s) ago

• What it gives you: the upcoming expiry, named with application and owner, so secrets get rotated during business hours.

Lifecycle: Active → Delegated → Ignored

Every assessment moves through three states:

• Active — open and untouched. For each, you can delegate it to a responsible person (any user in your Entra tenant — they do not need a Bsure account first) or ignore it.

• Delegated — assigned to someone else. You can see who it is delegated to, reactivate it, or delegate it again.

• Ignored — marked not relevant. You can reactivate it later if needed.

The delegation flow

When delegating, you can:

• Send email notification

• Copy instructions to clipboard (for any other channel you prefer)

Notification text example:

You have been assigned a new application assessment.

Bsure assessments help application owners track usage, security, and compliance for the applications they own or manage. This assessment requires your attention.

Assessment: Application "Application name" has no users

Application: "Application name"

Recommended governance process

A simple governance model:

• Assign a business owner to every SSO-enabled application

• Ensure renewal dates are registered

• Review assessments monthly

• Address expiring credentials immediately

• Delegate findings when needed

• Reduce unused licenses before renewal

Key takeaway

The Application Owner page gives business stakeholders direct visibility into:

• Cost responsibility

• Security exposure

• Renewal risk

• Usage patterns

It helps you:

• Avoid business interruption

• Reduce unnecessary spend

• Strengthen security

• Create clear ownership and accountability

Application Owner handles application-scoped findings. For organisation-scoped findings (inactive accounts, weak MFA, stale Windows devices, guest reviews), see My Organization or My Team. The leadership view across both surfaces is on KPI Dashboard.
