One login across every internal tool,
not a password per system
Every extra login a team keeps is one more password someone reuses, forgets, or shares in a chat. We wire your tools, internal and client-facing, behind a single identity provider using OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect, so one login carries a person's identity and role across everything they touch.
What it is
Single sign-on means one login, through one identity provider, grants access to every application wired to it, rather than a separate username and password per tool. OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect are the protocols that make this work without each application needing to see or store a password: an app redirects to the identity provider, the provider confirms who the person is, and the app receives a token proving that identity along with whatever role or permission claims the provider includes.
When you need it (and when you do not)
You need this once your team uses more than a couple of internal tools and password fatigue is already visible, shared logins, passwords in a spreadsheet, support tickets for forgotten access. It matters even more for client-facing portals where you want a client’s identity to carry consistent permissions across more than one system, or where you want to offboard a departing employee’s access in one place instead of hunting through every tool.
You do not need SSO for a single application with no other systems to connect to; a solid login with two-factor authentication covers that case without the added infrastructure of an identity provider. It is also not worth the setup cost for a team of two or three people where access review is trivial by hand.
How we build it
If you already use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, that is usually the fastest path: we register your applications as OAuth clients against your existing workspace, so employees log in with the account they already have and admins manage access from a tool they already use. Where there is no existing provider, or where you need more control over roles and claims than a workspace provider gives, we set up Keycloak or a comparable self-hosted provider, which keeps identity data under your control.
Each application, your admin panel, an internal dashboard, a client portal, is wired to redirect to the provider, validate the returned token, and map the provider’s role or group claims to that application’s own permission model, so a person’s access level is consistent across tools rather than configured separately in each one. Logout is tested end to end, since a partial logout that leaves a session alive in one app defeats the purpose.
What to watch
SSO concentrates risk at the identity provider: if that account is compromised, every connected application is exposed, which is why we pair SSO with two-factor authentication on the identity provider itself as a near-default recommendation, not an optional add-on. Migrating an existing user base to SSO takes a transition period where old and new login methods may need to coexist briefly, which we plan for rather than cut over all at once. Vendor lock-in is real if you pick a provider with proprietary extensions; standard OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect claims keep switching providers later a realistic option.

This pairs directly with two-factor authentication, role-based access control and passwordless login for the rest of the identity layer. It is part of the development service. The internal-tool access model here is close to what was rebuilt in factory ERP recovery and the identity handling in secure Telegram Mini App infrastructure.

FAQ
How much does SSO and OAuth integration cost?
From $1,200 for wiring one or two internal applications to an existing identity provider; adding more applications, or setting up the identity provider itself, is scoped separately.
How long does it take?
1 to 3 weeks per application, depending on whether the identity provider is already in place.
Which identity providers do you work with?
Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, Auth0, Keycloak (self-hosted), and any provider that speaks standard OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect.
Do you support SAML too?
We default to OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect since it fits the stacks we build on; SAML is supported where an existing enterprise system requires it, scoped individually since it adds real integration complexity.
What happens when someone leaves the company?
Revoking their account at the identity provider should cut access everywhere at once; that is the actual point of SSO, and we verify it works that way during testing, not just assume it does.
