What is single sign-on?
Single sign-on (SSO) lets staff use one secure Microsoft identity to sign in to Microsoft 365 and other business apps, instead of a separate username and password for each.
Why it matters for security
Every extra password is another one to reuse, forget or have stolen. With SSO, you protect one identity with strong MFA and conditional access, and every connected app benefits.
Conditional access
Microsoft Entra ID can check each sign-in for the user, device, location and risk level, and block or challenge anything unusual. For example, requiring a managed device to open company files.
Faster onboarding and offboarding
New staff get access to every connected app on day one. When someone leaves, disabling one account removes access everywhere, instantly.
Fewer password resets
With fewer passwords to manage, helpdesk tickets for lockouts and resets drop, and staff spend less time stuck.
What can be connected
Thousands of SaaS applications support SSO with Microsoft Entra ID, including many CRM, accounting, HR and project management platforms.

We review your apps, connect those that support SSO, enforce MFA and conditional access, and document the setup so new apps can be added easily.
