Workforce Access and Single Sign-On (SSO)
Secure workforce access to every resource, from SaaS and cloud to on-premises applications, with one-click single sign-on and intelligent, context-aware authentication.
Every access request is analysed for risk, so trusted users move freely while suspicious activity is challenged or blocked. Simple for users, strong for security, and built for a hybrid workforce.
Phishing and credential theft
Phishing emails and fake login pages trick users into handing over their passwords. Attackers then sign in as a legitimate user and move quietly into critical applications.
Phishing-resistant, passwordless sign-in
Users sign in with passkeys, biometrics or device-bound credentials instead of passwords. With nothing to type, there is nothing to steal, and adaptive MFA blocks logins that don’t match the user, device or context.
Password overload leads to risky habits
Every application has its own password, so users reuse the same one everywhere or keep them in notes and browsers. One leaked password can unlock many accounts.
One login for every application
Single sign-on gives users one secure login for cloud, SaaS and legacy apps. Remaining app passwords are stored in a central vault and filled in automatically, so users never need to remember or reuse them.
Password resets drain time and budget
Forgotten and expired passwords lock users out of their work and flood the helpdesk with reset tickets. Both the user and IT lose valuable time on every request.
Fewer passwords, self-service recovery
With SSO and passwordless login, there are far fewer passwords to forget. When a reset is needed, users recover access themselves through secure self-service, verified by MFA, without waiting on the helpdesk.
MFA fatigue and push bombing
Attackers with a stolen password flood users with approval requests until one is accepted by mistake. Users who are prompted constantly stop paying attention to what they approve.
Smart MFA that only asks when it matters
Adaptive MFA assesses each login based on user, device, location and behaviour. Trusted logins pass smoothly, risky ones get a stronger, phishing-resistant check, and repeated suspicious requests are blocked instead of pushed to the user.
What can you expect?
One secure sign-in for SaaS, cloud and on-premises applications. Fewer passwords, less hassle and a better user experience.
Passwordless authentication and adaptive MFA reduce unnecessary prompts while keeping access simple and secure.
Context-aware security adjusts protection based on user, device and behaviour, keeping identities protected beyond the initial login.
Give your hybrid workforce secure access from anywhere while maintaining central visibility and control over user access.
Secure, personal access on every hospital workstation
Hospital staff at AZ Herentals were sharing logins to save time.
ACEN introduced badge-based authentication with single sign-on. The result: every employee now works under a personal ID and goes straight into their applications, leaving more time for patients.
How we handle Workforce Access & Single Sign-On (SSO)
- Assess
- Design
- Deploy
- Operate & Improve
Phase 1 Assess
We map your current access landscape: which applications you use, how users sign in today, where passwords and MFA gaps create risk, and which compliance requirements apply. You get a clear picture of priorities and quick wins.
Phase 2 Design
We define the target architecture and access policies: SSO for your key applications, adaptive and passwordless authentication rules, password vaulting for legacy apps, and session controls. Everything is aligned with your security goals and frameworks such as NIS2, GDPR and DORA.
Phase 3 Deploy
We connect your applications and roll out in phases, starting with a pilot group and your most-used apps. Clear user communication and guidance ensure a smooth transition, with minimal disruption to daily work.
Phase 4 Operate & Improve
After go-live, we monitor, fine-tune policies and onboard new applications as your business grows. Regular access reviews and reporting keep your environment secure, compliant and audit-ready.
One identity provider for every business app
Sanoma moved its employee sign-in from ADFS to Microsoft Entra.
ACEN configured single sign-on for each business application and worked closely with Sanoma’s project team, giving employees one consistent way in with less infrastructure to maintain.
