• SSO Deployment Level

• SSO Deployment Ratio

At the level of an organization entity, program or project, the process scope may be defined using the scope dimensions listed below. But at the organization level, the scope must be embraced holistically to effectively manage revocation risks and consider all of these scope dimensions .

• User populations: permanent employees, contractors, partners, customers, consumers, authorities

• Identity categories: humans, robots, processes

• Principal categories: user accounts, technical accounts, service accounts

• Access type: logical, physical ()

• IT Systems (business applications, infrastructure, …)

• Organizational scope (region, division, unit, …)

• The deployment of SSO reinforces security, even though it may marginally increase risk in certain circumstances, e.g. when an identity is compromised (). This risk is typically offset by the concomitant implementation of MFA.

• Sloppily implemented SSO may weaken security.
