One identity, every app, phishing-resistant by default
Okta done well is the difference between a login that protects you and a login that just annoys people. We deploy Okta as the identity provider in front of your stack, enforce a modern phishing-resistant standard at the authentication layer, and roll it out so your team is enrolled and working without a bad first morning. Fixed scope, fixed price, delivered with a support window on cutover day.
Phishing-resistant MFA, not just any MFA
Most MFA still leans on something an attacker can capture or relay: a password, a one-time code, an SMS, a tap-to-approve push. We configure Okta Verify with FastPass, which replaces all of that with a cryptographic credential held device-bound in the device's secure hardware, the Secure Enclave on a Mac, the TPM on Windows, and released only by a biometric or device PIN. There is no shared secret for a fake login page to steal, which is what makes it phishing-resistant, and it meets NIST AAL3 on properly configured devices. We deliberately exclude the weaker factors so there is no quiet fallback to something phishable.
Single sign-on across your stack
If most of your tools already sign in with Google or Microsoft, we enforce the strong factor at that authentication layer, so your whole application estate inherits it without touching each app. For everything that needs its own connection, we wire up SSO directly: Slack, Notion, Figma, Adobe, your CRM, your finance tools, and developer platforms like GitHub via SAML so engineering access sits on the same bar as everyone else.
Joiners and leavers on autopilot
We set up SCIM provisioning so new starters land in the right apps on day one and leavers lose access the moment HR flips the switch, with a clear audit trail of who had access to what. No more orphaned accounts lingering for weeks after someone has gone.
Recovery and break-glass, designed in
The moment your login depends on an identity provider, recovery is the part that decides whether the rollout feels solid or fragile. We design it in from the start: documented break-glass admin accounts secured with passkeys, a written recovery procedure, and sensible session and offline policies. It is the same lesson we cover in why passkey rollouts fail on recovery, not cryptography.
How we roll it out without downtime
We build with no user impact first, run an enrolment window with daily reporting and named escalation for stragglers, pilot the cutover with a small group to validate real workflows including mail clients and developer tooling, then switch the whole organisation with support staffed on the day. When proof matters, for a contract or an audit, we package an evidence pack: policy exports, enforcement configuration, enrolment completion, and a register of exceptions with their compensating controls.
For Mac-first teams, this pairs with Apple Platform SSO so people authenticate at the macOS login screen with the same identity, and with our broader SSO and identity management work if you are consolidating directories at the same time.
