eScan Announces Deployment of GitHub Tenant Control within its Enterprise DLP Solution
Wednesday, February 11, 2026
eScan (MicroWorld Technologies) announces the successful deployment of GitHub Tenant Control within its Enterprise DLP solution, addressing a critical security gap affecting thousands of organisations that use GitHub Team or Organisation accounts without Enterprise-level access controls.
GitHub's pricing structure creates a significant security dilemma. While GitHub Enterprise includes SAML single sign-on and centralised authentication controls, many organisations use GitHub Team accounts to manage costs. This is particularly when purchasing seats for dozens or hundreds of developers. Team accounts lack GitHub's native tenant control features, leaving organisations vulnerable to employees accessing repositories through personal credentials, third-party SSO providers like Google or Microsoft, or Apple ID authentication.
"Organisations face an impossible choice," said Govind Rammurthy, CEO & MD, eScan. "Either spend 5x more for GitHub Enterprise just to get access controls, or accept the risk that employees might access your source code repositories through personal accounts that you can't monitor or audit. eScan's GitHub Tenant Control eliminates that dilemma."
eScan Enterprise DLP's new GitHub Tenant Control capability works regardless of GitHub account type - Team, Organisation, or Enterprise. When an employee attempts to access GitHub using personal credentials or third-party authentication providers (Google, Apple, Microsoft), eScan's DLP intercepts the authentication attempt and blocks it. Access succeeds only when employees authenticate using their corporate domain credentials, maintaining workflow continuity while ensuring complete visibility and control.
"This isn't about replacing GitHub's security features for Enterprise customers," Shweta Thakare, VP, Global Sales, explained. "It's about extending enterprise-grade access control to organisations using Team or Organisation accounts and providing an additional layer of authentication enforcement even for Enterprise customers who want defence-in-depth."
eScan's GitHub Tenant Control integrates with the company's broader Workspace Tenant Control feature set, which already manages authentication for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Dropbox, Atlassian, Slack, Webex, ChatGPT and dozens of other platforms. The unified approach enables organisations to enforce consistent authentication policies across their entire cloud application ecosystem from a single DLP platform.
