What is SSO (and do you need it)?

Single sign-on (SSO) means your team logs into company apps through one front door — usually Google, Microsoft, or Okta. **When you need it:** 15+ employees, multiple cloud apps, or compliance requirements around access control. **When you can wait:** Small team, few apps, and you're not handling sensitive customer data at scale. **What vendors won't tell you:** SSO is a project, not a checkbox. Someone has to map every app, every user group, and what happens when someone leaves.
