Single Sign-On & Access Gateways

Fewer Logins.
Fewer Exceptions.
Fewer Headaches.

SSO and access gateways that simplify user access while giving leadership clear ownership, consistent policy, and confidence that "who can access what" has an actual answer.

Stop Access Fragmentation Before It Becomes an Incident

Access quietly breaks when every application handles identity differently and permissions drift over time. The impact shows up as reset tickets, slow onboarding, shadow accounts, and fragile workarounds - until it becomes an audit issue or a preventable security incident.

A single access layer fixes the root cause: one identity backbone, consistent policy, and predictable integration across SaaS, on-prem, and legacy systems. Applications don't need to be "modern" - where native SSO isn't available, a secure access layer is introduced to bring legacy and custom systems into the same identity and policy model without rewrites or disruption.

Here's what a unified SSO & gateway approach delivers:

  • Centralised authentication using proven standards (SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect) for consistent sign-in across applications
  • Gateways in front of sensitive services to enforce policy before traffic reaches internal systems
  • SSO enablement for legacy and custom applications by placing a secure intermediary layer in front of systems that lack native support
  • Role-based and attribute-based access controls aligned to real responsibilities (least privilege by design)
  • MFA and conditional access applied consistently, including modern factors (WebAuthn/FIDO2) where appropriate
  • Automated joiner/mover/leaver flows to remove delays and eliminate lingering permissions
  • Strong logging, audit trails, and optional SIEM integration to support investigations and compliance
  • Directory and IdP integration (AD/LDAP/Entra ID/Okta and compatible providers) without duplicating identity data

If access is already creating drag, risk, or uncertainty, it is time to standardise it properly. Bring the applications, identities, and policies into one controllable layer - then roll it out with minimal disruption. Take Control of Access Now

Platforms & Technologies We Work With

Non-exhaustive - depends on requirements.

  • Identity & SSO Protocols

  • Directories & Identity Stores

    Active Directory, LDAP, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta (and compatible IdPs)

  • SSO & Identity Platforms

    Keycloak, authentik, Gluu (where suitable)

  • Access Gateways & Proxies

    NGINX, HAProxy, Traefik, Caddy

  • Policy & Enforcement Patterns

    RBAC, ABAC, conditional access, MFA enforcement (e.g., TOTP, WebAuthn/FIDO2/SMS/email)

Use Cases for Faster Sign-In and Clearer Control

Each use case is focused on reducing support load, tightening governance, and making access predictable at scale.

Workforce SSO Across Mixed Application Environments
Unify sign-in across SaaS, internal apps, and legacy systems with consistent policy and fewer credentials to manage.

Gateway Protection for Sensitive Internal Services
Place an access control layer in front of admin panels, dashboards, and internal tools lacking modern auth, enabling SSO and MFA without modifying the application.

Joiner/Mover/Leaver Automation
Standardise and automate access changes so permissions track real roles - without manual tickets and missed removals.

Privileged Access Guardrails
Apply stronger controls for admin and elevated roles, including step-up MFA, scoped permissions, and clear audit trails.

Third-Party and Vendor Access
Provide controlled access for partners with federated identity, limited scope, and optional time-bound permissions.

Audit-Ready Access Logging and Reporting
Produce consistent authentication and authorisation records that stand up to scrutiny during reviews and investigations.

Hybrid Identity Integration
Keep identity anchored in AD/LDAP/Entra ID and integrate cleanly across cloud and on-premises without duplicating sources of truth.

What You Get Out of the Box

Our SSO and Access Gateway solutions strengthen access control while improving user experience and reducing administrative burden.

Industry-Focused Access Architecture

Every industry has different pressures: compliance obligations, user populations, availability requirements, and legacy constraints. We design SSO and Access Gateway implementations around how access really works in your environment - from workforce identity and privileged admin access to third-party onboarding and audit reporting that stands up to scrutiny.

Healthcare

Secure, compliant access to clinical and administrative systems with strong auditing and role-driven permissions.

Telecoms

Controlled access to network tools, customer platforms, and operational portals - reducing risk while improving service continuity.

E-commerce

Safer customer and internal access journeys that protect payment systems and improve sign-in experience during peak demand.

Education

Seamless access for students and staff across learning platforms and admin tools, with simplified onboarding and offboarding.

Logistics

Stronger access governance for tracking, inventory, and fleet systems - keeping critical operations secure and available.

Manufacturing

Centralised control across live systems, OT-adjacent applications, and supply-chain systems - reducing operational disruption and limiting access exposure.

From Discovery to Delivery: Designed for Operational Confidence

We don't deploy generic identity stacks. Each SSO and Access Gateway solution is built around your technical environment, risk profile, and operational needs - so it stays reliable as your business grows.

  • 1

    Landscape Review & Requirements

    We map your applications, user groups, identity sources, and authentication flows, then confirm what "good" looks like for security, usability, and compliance. Where needed, we also identify quick wins and high-risk systems that should be prioritised first.

  • 2

    Target Design & Rollout Plan

    We define the access architecture, select the right open-source and/or proprietary components, and design policy foundations such as RBAC, MFA, and conditional access. You also get a phased rollout plan that reduces disruption, supports pilot groups, and makes onboarding predictable.

  • 3

    Build, Integrate & Validate

    We deploy and configure the platform, integrate applications across cloud, on-premises, and legacy environments, and implement gateway controls for sensitive services. We then test sign-in flows, policy behaviour, logging, and failure scenarios to ensure the access layer behaves as intended.

  • 4

    Handover, Enablement & Support Options

    We deliver documentation and practical knowledge transfer for your administrators and service desk teams, including repeatable steps for onboarding future applications. If you want us alongside you longer-term, we can provide ongoing monitoring, continuous improvement, and structured support through our SLA-Based Technical Support or Dedicated Support Hours.

Operational Gains, Backed by Reality

Practical improvements teams notice every day.

View Case Study

Our work is grounded in real operational outcomes. In the Unified Access Connector delivered for a UK telecommunications provider, we reduced access friction without disrupting legacy systems - cutting time spent managing access by 34% while reliably handling 40 million+ web requests per day.

34% less time
spent managing system access
40M+ requests
handled daily

Those results matter because they reflect how we work: minimise disruption, focus on what slows teams down, and deliver changes that improve day-to-day operations immediately. If you need to modernise around legacy constraints without losing momentum, you're in the right place.
