Personal data is protected at Planerio – not just promised, but technically secured. With Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Planerio offers two proven security features that reliably prevent unauthorized access to our software, simplify logins for your employees, and support compliance with data protection regulations. Find out exactly how they work and why both are relevant to your business here.
What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?
Single Sign-On is an authentication method that allows users to securely access multiple interconnected applications or systems with just one set of credentials. Once SSO is set up, users ideally only need to log in a single time to gain access to all applications, websites, and data enabled for them within Planerio.
What Are the Benefits of Single Sign-On?
The primary purpose of Single Sign-On is to allow users to log in with a single set of credentials to individual applications and resources within a trusted group. This not only provides a significant convenience for the user, who no longer has to log in multiple times, but also offers greater security, as there are fewer opportunities for a password to be lost, stolen, or reused. Thus, SSO is part of an effective access management strategy and helps ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
What Is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an identity verification method that requires the user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access. One of the most common MFA factors, also used by Planerio, is one-time passwords.
What Are the Benefits of Multi-Factor Authentication?
Multi-Factor Authentication significantly reduces the likelihood of a successful cyberattack, as additional identity verification is required even if credentials are compromised. This is especially true for employees working remotely. In some sectors, such as healthcare or critical infrastructure, MFA is even legally required.
