Enhancing security and usability: VerseOne's Single Sign-On solution for Grampian Housing

At VerseOne, we are proud to celebrate our two-year partnership with Grampian Housing and the successful delivery of yet another impactful project. At the end of last year, we implemented a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution for Grampian Housing staff, allowing seamless access to the VerseOne CMS without the need for separate usernames and passwords.

This project reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering secure, innovative solutions tailored to the needs of the Social Housing sector. By introducing SSO, we've enhanced security while simplifying the user experience for Grampian Housing's staff.

The security benefits of Single Sign-On

SSO reduces the risks associated with password management - minimising weak passwords and reducing the likelihood of breaches caused by credential reuse or phishing. By integrating SSO, Grampian Housing ensures that staff access to the CMS is protected through a centralised authentication system, which can be further secured with multi-factor authentication.

Governance and Regulatory Compliance

In the Social Housing sector, safeguarding customer data is paramount. SSO supports robust governance by creating a clear audit trail of system access. This aligns with regulatory requirements and demonstrates a commitment to transparency and accountability. The system ensures that access permissions are managed centrally, simplifying compliance and reducing administrative overheads.

By implementing SSO, Grampian Housing also mitigate the risks associated with rising cyber-insurance costs. Across the sector, organisations are facing a crack down in compliance with cyber-insurance, and are facing steep cost increases off the back of non-compliance with things like SSO.

A partnership built on innovation

We're thrilled to have worked with Grampian Housing for two years, delivering game-changing projects like this one. The SSO implementation not only streamlines operations but also reinforces their commitment to protecting customer data and adhering to industry standards.

As we look to the future, we remain committed to delivering innovative, secure solutions that empower organisations like Grampian Housing to thrive in a digital-first world. Thank you, Grampian, for trusting VerseOne as your partner in innovation!
