SSO & Enterprise App Integrations

Centralise and secure application access - implement Single Sign‑On (SSO), access control, and lifecycle provisioning using Microsoft Entra ID enterprise applications and modern authentication standards.

Every organisation ends up with a portfolio of SaaS and line-of-business applications - each with its own login model, access rules, and user lifecycle. When applications are onboarded without a standard approach, organisations see inconsistent access, weak offboarding, duplicated credentials, and a higher likelihood of password reuse and phishing exposure. SSO and structured app onboarding reduces this risk while improving user experience and support overhead.

LW IT Solutions delivers SSO & Enterprise App Integrations as an end-to-end onboarding service using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). We integrate applications using SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect/OAuth (where supported), and appropriate federation models, then implement access control patterns (role-based access, group assignments, and - where in scope - Conditional Access alignment). If required, we also implement user provisioning so joiners, movers, and leavers are handled consistently. The outcome is a governed, repeatable integration approach you can scale across your application estate.

How It Works

Discover - confirm the application, users, access requirements, and vendor capabilities.
Design - select the best integration pattern and define claims/attributes and access assignment approach.
Implement - configure the Entra enterprise app and the vendor-side SSO settings as required.
Validate - run pilot testing, confirm expected sign‑in behaviour, and resolve issues.
Handover - document the configuration and provide support guidance and standard onboarding patterns.

Engagement Options

Starter Integration - SSO configuration and validation for a single application
Extended Deployment - multiple applications with role-based access and conditional access alignment
Provisioning Enablement - configure user joiner/mover/leaver lifecycle integration where supported
Audit & Governance Review - assess existing enterprise app integrations for compliance and best-practice alignment

Common Bundles

Customers who use this service often bundle with these services

Conditional Access Design & Rollout
Design and roll out Conditional Access policies with testing, pilot groups, break glass controls, and reporting that reduces risk without disrupting users.

Identity Governance (Access Reviews & Entitlements)
Implement identity governance with access reviews, entitlement management and lifecycle automation to control access duration, justification and audit evidence.

Passwordless & Strong Authentication
Deploy passwordless and strong authentication using Microsoft Entra ID, reducing credential risk while improving sign-in experience for users.

Privileged Identity Management (PIM) & Admin Hardening
Implement Privileged Identity Management and admin hardening to remove standing access, enforce just-in-time elevation, and govern privileged roles.
