The enterprise SSO the buyer's IT team actually approves.
SAML 2.0 + OIDC + SCIM provisioning built into your SaaS in 6 weeks. Okta, Auth0, WorkOS, Azure Entra ID, or roll-your-own — whichever fits your buyer. £8K audit + fixed build.
What is SAML SSO implementation?
Enterprise SSO (Single Sign-On) with SAML 2.0 is the login mechanism enterprise buyers require before they will sign a contract with a SaaS vendor. SAML lets an enterprise's existing identity provider (Okta, Azure Entra ID, Google Workspace, Ping) authenticate users into your app without them creating a new password. SCIM provisions users automatically when they join or leave the customer's directory. Empyreal Infotech implements enterprise SSO in 6 weeks using WorkOS, Auth0, or a roll-your-own SAML library, with SCIM provisioning wired to your user tables. Every implementation passes an enterprise buyer's security review on the first pass.
What you get, every engagement.
SAML 2.0 + OIDC login
Every enterprise IdP (Okta, Auth0, Azure Entra ID, Google Workspace, Ping, OneLogin, JumpCloud) speaks SAML. We wire whichever ones your buyer needs.
SCIM 2.0 provisioning + deprovisioning
Users, groups, and role mappings sync automatically. A user offboarded in Okta is offboarded in your app within seconds — the audit trail enterprise buyers want.
Just-in-time user creation
A first-time SSO login creates the user in your app with the right roles + workspace, no admin ticket in the middle. Removes the biggest friction in enterprise rollouts.
Multi-tenant isolation
Each enterprise customer gets its own SAML config, its own SCIM endpoint, and its own audit log. A misconfig on one customer never bleeds into another.

Questions we get about SAML SSO implementation, with real answers.
WorkOS if you want the fastest path to enterprise SSO + Directory Sync with the least code. Auth0 if you're already on it for consumer auth. Roll-your-own with `passport-saml` or `saml2-js` if you need every dollar to be predictable at scale. We'll recommend based on your buyer profile in the audit week.
£8K audit + fixed build. Most 2025-26 builds land at £24-45K depending on: number of enterprise IdPs to support, whether SCIM is needed on day one, and the complexity of your existing user model. A single-IdP + no-SCIM build closes closer to £24K. Full multi-IdP + SCIM + audit-log build closer to £45K.
All of them — Okta, Auth0, Azure Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Google Workspace, Ping Identity, OneLogin, JumpCloud, Duo, Rippling, and any spec-compliant SAML 2.0 IdP. WorkOS abstracts the differences; roll-your-own means one connector per IdP but nothing weird.
For contracts under £50K ARR: often no — a signed DPA + SAML SSO is enough. For contracts over £100K ARR or regulated buyers (finance, healthcare, government): SCIM is usually a must-have. We'll assess buyer profile in the audit week and scope accordingly.
Pre-fill SIG-Lite and CAIQ with your actual answers, cite the exact control from your architecture (e.g. "SAML assertions signed with SHA-256, cert rotated every 12 months, tracked in Vanta"). First-pass approvals expected. If the buyer sends a bespoke 60-page questionnaire, that's a paid extra — £2-4K depending on length.
Yes — the SSO + SCIM build ships with Vanta / Drata / Secureframe integration wired if you already have one, or with a plain evidence-collection runbook if you don't. SOC 2 Type II audit-prep is a separate engagement.
