mamori for applications

An application security module for modern access and data privacy needs.

Module Summary

Protects applications and application data from unverified access and operations.

technical safeguards for

  • Security and data privacy compliance

  • zero-trust & least-privilege security implementations

key features

  • SSO & 2FA cloud applications

  • SSO & 2FA applications on a local network

  • Directory integration (cloud or local)

  • Data privacy policies: mask & encrypt

  • Security policies: connection, session & end-point

  • Access on-demand workflow

key benefits

  • No changes to application code required

  • Users can visualize their own permissions and request if needed.

Approach

M4APP has two components:

  • The mamori server SAML provider, which is used to multi-factor SAML enabled cloud and local network applications.

  • An HTTP/S proxy, which is deployed along with your application and provides session, endpoint and data privacy controls.

SSO & multi-factor your cloud or local applications without the need to send requests to a 3rd party cloud service

Apply session, end-point and data privacy controls without changing code.

Works with REST, SOAP and XML RPC applications and APIs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does application-level security differ from network and server security?
Network security controls which devices and users can access your infrastructure, and server security controls who can reach individual servers via SSH or RDP. Application security operates at the next layer up: it governs who can access specific applications, what they can do within them, and what data they can see. Without application-level controls, a user with legitimate network and server access can often reach any application on that network and interact with its data without restriction. M4APP closes this layer by applying SSO, 2FA, session controls, data privacy policies, and access-on-demand workflows directly at the application.
How can legacy applications that don't support SAML or OAuth be secured with SSO and 2FA?
Most cloud applications support SAML or OAuth for SSO, but many internal and legacy applications don't. M4APP addresses this with an HTTP/S proxy that is deployed alongside the application and provides session, endpoint, and data privacy controls without requiring any changes to the application code. This means older or custom-built applications that were never designed for modern authentication can still be brought under the same SSO and 2FA framework as your cloud applications. It works with REST, SOAP, and XML RPC applications and APIs.
What are data privacy policies at the application layer?
Data privacy policies at the application layer control what data users can see and how it is presented, independent of what the application itself exposes by default. M4APP supports masking and encryption policies that apply to data returned through the application, so a user with application access may see sensitive fields obfuscated based on their role or the policy active for their session. This operates at the HTTP/S layer, meaning it can be applied even to applications where direct database-level access control isn't in place.
Does securing an application with M4APP require changes to its code?
No. M4APP requires no changes to your application code. The SAML provider component handles SSO and multi-factor authentication for SAML-enabled cloud and local network applications, while the HTTP/S proxy is deployed alongside your application to provide session, endpoint, and data privacy controls. Both components work transparently with the application as it stands — no development work is needed on the application side, and users continue accessing it through their existing tools.
Can M4APP secure both cloud applications and applications hosted on a local network?
Yes. M4APP handles SSO and 2FA for both cloud applications and applications hosted on a local network through the same platform. The Mamori server acts as a SAML provider without routing authentication requests through a third-party cloud service, keeping authentication within your own infrastructure if needed. Directory integration works with both cloud and local directories, so your existing user identities and access policies carry over regardless of where the application is hosted.
