Single sign-on (SSO) and SAML: how to answer it in a security questionnaire

Usually asked as: “Do you support Single Sign-On (SSO) or SAML integration?”

Updated

What is single sign-on (SSO)?

SSO stands for single sign-on. It lets people use one identity provider account, such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or Google Workspace, to log in to many applications. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) and OpenID Connect are the standard protocols that carry the login between the identity provider and each app.

What the buyer is really asking

The buyer's IT team wants to manage access to your app through their own identity provider. List the protocols you support (SAML, OIDC, SCIM) and which plans include them.

Other ways buyers ask it

Every one of these wants the same answer:

  • “Do you support SSO?”
  • “Do you support SAML or OIDC?”
  • “Can we use Okta or Azure AD to log in?”
  • “Is SCIM provisioning supported?”

Evidence to have ready

  • Product documentation for SSO setup
  • The list of supported identity providers and protocols

How Tyrvar answers this

Tyrvar treats every wording above as one question. You write the answer once, attach the evidence, and revisit it when your setup changes. Each buyer gets that approved answer no matter how their questionnaire words it. If you have not answered it yet, Tyrvar flags the question for you and does not make something up. Try it on your own questionnaire.
