Single Sign-on (SSO) Solutions

​Implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) is a smart move for businesses looking to enhance their risk management strategy while streamlining operations.

 

With SSO, your team can securely access multiple applications using just one login, reducing password fatigue and the risk of security breaches. By centralising user authentication, SSO strengthens your security infrastructure, making it easier to manage access control and spot suspicious activity.

 

Plus, SSO Deployment: Improves Security, Reduce Costs, and Increases Productivity. With fewer password resets and simplified login processes, your IT team saves time, and employees can focus on what matters most.

The central padlock represents secure access, while surrounding icons include identity verification, trust relationships, and cloud services. The image visualises the concept of SSO, where an Identity Provider (IdP) issues a token that grants seamless access to multiple applications. This process ensures a secure, single login for users across platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace

Single Sign-On (SSO): One Login to Rule Them All. Simplify your workday with a single, secure login for all the applications you need.

a digital figure sitting at a laptop, surrounded by glowing padlock icons, symbolising secure Single Sign-On (SSO) access. The central figure represents a user securely logging in with one set of credentials to access multiple applications. The image highlights the simplicity and security of SSO, enabling users to manage all their required applications with a single login

The Basic Concept:

​

Trust Relationship: At the heart of SSO is a 'trust circle' between your Identity Provider (IdP - the SSO system itself) and various Service Providers (the applications you want to access).

​

One Login: You log in to the SSO system ONCE, proving who you are. This establishes your identity.

​

The Magic Token: The SSO system gives you a special token (like a temporary backstage pass). This token confirms your identity has been verified.

​

Seamless Access: When you try to access an application within the SSO system (e.g., your email, a sales tool), it sees your token. Because it trusts the SSO system, it lets you in without needing another login!

​

Using Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace? Good news you have your SSO solution ready to go!

Benefits of SSO for Businesses

Password Peace of Mind: Imagine having one master key for all the tools your team uses – no more juggling multiple passwords or frustrating resets! SSO saves time and reduces password headaches.

---

Serious Security Upgrade: Think of SSO like adding extra locks to your business. Fewer passwords to manage means fewer opportunities for hackers to break in. Plus, it's much easier to enforce strong password policies on just one login.

---

Spot Trouble Faster: SSO gives you a single place to see who is logging in and from where. This makes it way easier to spot suspicious activity and shut it down before it causes problems.

---

Happy, Productive Employees: Less time battling logins means your team can focus on what they do best. SSO keeps everyone moving smoothly and reduces frustration.

---

Easier to Manage Changes: New employee? Simply set them up in your SSO system and they've got access to everything they need. Someone leaves? One click revokes access. No complex setup or password resets on every tool.

​

Both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace come equipped with their own Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities.

​

Microsoft 365: Yes, and It's Called Entra AD

​

At the heart of SSO in Microsoft 365 sits Active Directory (Entra AD). It's the identity management system that powers logins for everything from your email to Microsoft Teams.

---

Entra AD acts as your SSO hub, allowing you to securely access not only Microsoft applications but also many other popular business tools with a single login.

​

Google Workspace: Also Yes, Using Google Identity

​

Google Workspace has its own built-in SSO system called Google Identity. It's what lets you use the same login for Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and more.

---

Google Identity can also be configured to work with various third-party applications, offering that single login convenience beyond just Google's own tools.

  • Firewalls
    Create a security filter between the internet and your network. Firewalls are essential for protecting your internet connection. They act as a barrier between your internal network and external networks (such as the internet), preventing unauthorised access to your systems and data. Organisations must ensure that all devices that connect to the internet are protected by a properly configured firewall.
  • Secure Configuration
    Secure configuration involves setting up computers and network devices to reduce vulnerabilities. This includes changing default settings, disabling unnecessary features, and ensuring that only essential software is installed and running. Organisations need to ensure that devices and software are configured securely from the outset to minimise security risks.
  • User Access Control
    User access control ensures that only authorised individuals have access to systems and data. This involves implementing user accounts with appropriate privileges and using strong, unique passwords. It also includes restricting administrative privileges to only those who need them for their role.
  • Malware Protection
    Malware protection involves deploying anti-malware solutions to detect and prevent malicious software from infecting systems. This includes using antivirus software and other security tools to scan and protect against malware. Organisations must ensure that their anti-malware software is up-to-date and configured to scan for malware regularly
  • Software Security Updates
    Security update management, or patch management, ensures that software and devices are kept up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates. This reduces vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. Organisations need to implement a process to regularly update and patch systems to protect against known threats.
