Single Sign-On Services
Simplify access to business applications, cloud services and digital platforms through Single Sign-On solutions that improve user experience whilst strengthening security and governance.
Introduction
PiRho Services provides Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions that enable users to access multiple applications and services using a single trusted identity.
By reducing the need for multiple usernames and passwords, SSO improves user productivity, strengthens security and simplifies identity administration.
Whether integrating Microsoft 365, cloud applications, on-premises systems, customer portals or bespoke business platforms, we design and implement SSO architectures that deliver consistent and secure access across the technology estate.
Business Challenges
- Users manage multiple usernames and passwords.
- Password fatigue increases security risks.
- Access requests generate significant administrative overhead.
- Applications use inconsistent authentication methods.
- Cloud adoption has introduced multiple identity stores.
- User onboarding and offboarding processes are complex.
- Productivity is affected by authentication friction.
- Organisations require a more consistent security model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Single Sign-On?
Single Sign-On allows users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple systems, applications and services without repeatedly entering credentials.
Does Single Sign-On improve security?
Yes. SSO reduces password proliferation, centralises access control and works effectively alongside Multi-Factor Authentication and identity governance.
Can legacy applications support Single Sign-On?
Many legacy applications can be integrated directly or indirectly through federation, authentication gateways or identity modernisation strategies.
Can Single Sign-On work with Microsoft 365?
Yes. Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID provide extensive support for Single Sign-On across Microsoft and third-party services.
Does Single Sign-On reduce helpdesk workload?
Frequently, yes. Fewer passwords and centralised authentication can significantly reduce password reset requests and user access issues.
Can SSO be combined with Multi-Factor Authentication?
Absolutely. SSO and MFA are commonly implemented together to provide both convenience and strong security.
