Why Vanta SSO

In a holding structure, every app keeps its own user list.

That means ten separate accounts for every new hire, and ten separate accesses waiting to be closed for every leaver.

Today
  • A separate account and password for each app
  • Forgotten passwords come back to IT as reset requests
  • Leavers' access waits to be closed one by one

  • All of a leaver's access closes in one action
User lifecycle

An employee's journey in the organization is tracked with a single identity.

No forgotten accounts, no access left open, no overlooked permissions. The security gap organizations face most often disappears through the normal workings of the system.

Company and role-based authorization

The answer to "what can this person access?" on a single screen.

Holding, company, department, role: who can access what is defined in one place. When an app is opened to a company newly joining the holding, there is no need to define users one by one.

Multi-factor authentication

You decide where additional verification is required.

For critical apps, a second verification layer is added on top of the password. MFA is mandatory when signing in to the accounting system, but not for the lunch menu.

Integration

Connects to your existing directories and speaks the industry's common language.

Identity sources
Active DirectoryLDAPHR system

Wherever user data already lives remains the source; no one defines the same employee twice. Organizational changes flow into the identity system automatically.

Standards
OpenID ConnectOAuth 2.0

Every app that speaks these standards, both the ones you use today and the ones you will buy tomorrow, connects to Vanta SSO. Your identity infrastructure is not locked into a single vendor's closed world.

No per-user fees

Whether you have 500 employees or 50,000, the infrastructure is the same.

Cloud identity services charge a monthly fee per user; at holding scale that is a bill that grows every year. With Vanta SSO the infrastructure is yours and is not priced by user count.

Identity data is an organization's most sensitive data.

On your own servers
Your user data never leaves your organization.

If you wish, Vanta SSO runs entirely on your own servers.

In the cloud
Azure, AWS or DigitalOcean.

If you prefer a cloud deployment, it is ready to run on these platforms.
