Simplifying Secure Access with Single Sign-On (SSO) for Lifespan

We are pleased to announce the availability of Single Sign-On (SSO) for the Lifespan platform.

This new capability allows organisations to authenticate users through their existing corporate identity provider, enabling a more seamless, secure, and efficient login experience for Lifespan users.

As housing providers and asset management teams continue to embrace digital transformation, secure and convenient access to business-critical systems has never been more important. SSO helps organisations simplify access management while strengthening security and improving the user experience.

What is Single Sign-On?

Single Sign-On allows users to access Lifespan using their existing organisational credentials, removing the need to manage separate usernames and passwords for the platform.

By integrating Lifespan with your existing identity provider, users can securely access the system using the same credentials they use across the rest of their organisation's digital estate.

Key Benefits of SSO

Improved Security

Authentication is managed through your organisation's established identity and access management processes, helping maintain consistent security controls and governance.

Simplified User Access

Users can sign in using their existing organisational account, providing fast and frictionless access to the platform.

Reduced Password Fatigue

With fewer passwords to remember and manage, users spend less time resetting credentials and more time focused on their work.

Enhanced User Experience

Seamless authentication improves accessibility and makes it easier for teams to engage with asset and compliance information when they need it.

Alignment with Corporate Security Policies

SSO allows Lifespan access to align with existing IT, cybersecurity, and governance requirements, supporting a more integrated technology environment.

Streamlined User Management

By linking authentication to corporate accounts, organisations can simplify the onboarding and offboarding of users and maintain greater control over system access.

Customer Validated

We're delighted to share that Tai Tarian has successfully validated the Lifespan SSO implementation, helping us ensure the solution is robust, secure, and ready for wider customer adoption.

The benefits have already been recognised by users within the organisation. As Matthew Jones, Infrastructure Engineer at Tai Tarian, explains:

"Single Sign-On has been so beneficial to our company not only for a security side but from a productivity [perspective]. It enables our colleagues to be able to only use one secure sign-in for a lot of applications and helps keep password resets down. James and the team have been great at getting this integration enabled."

This feedback highlights the practical value that SSO delivers, combining stronger security with a more efficient and productive user experience.

Supporting Digital Transformation Across Housing

As housing providers continue to look for ways to improve operational efficiency, strengthen cybersecurity, and deliver better outcomes through technology, integrated solutions such as SSO play an important role.

By enabling secure access through existing organisational credentials, Lifespan becomes even easier to integrate into existing IT environments, helping customers maximise the value of their asset, compliance, and property data.

Available Now

The SSO capability is now available to all Lifespan customers and can be configured to work with compatible identity providers, subject to setup requirements.

Whether your organisation is looking to improve security, simplify user account management, reduce IT administration, or enhance the user experience, SSO provides a straightforward way to integrate Lifespan into your existing authentication processes.
