Which enterprise features close the most deals?

Usually SSO and role-based access come first — 'does it work with Okta?' and 'can we scope permissions?' block the most deals — followed by audit logs and data export on the security questionnaire. The build sequences by whatever your live deal needs first, so you're unblocking real pipeline rather than building the checklist in the abstract.

Do you implement SAML and OIDC SSO with real identity providers?

Yes. SSO is wired to the IdPs enterprise buyers actually use — Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace — with SCIM provisioning added where the deal requires it. It's built and tested against real providers, not just a spec, because that's where SSO integrations usually break.

Can this get us through a security review or questionnaire?

On the engineering side, yes. The build ships the technical pieces buyers and auditors look for — access controls, audit logging, encryption at rest, session handling, data export and deletion — so the questionnaire becomes answerable with real behaviour. We build to the requirements; we're not your auditor or your policy writer.

How do you build enterprise-ready authentication?

Start with SAML or OIDC SSO against the identity providers buyers actually use, then wire the permission model into your own tenant and resource boundaries. Add SCIM where provisioning matters, test session handling and offboarding, and record sensitive actions in the audit log. The identity provider supplies components; the app-side integration is what makes authentication enterprise-ready.

Will you touch our multi-tenant permissions safely?

Carefully. Tightening data isolation and the permission model is core scope, and it's exactly the code teams are nervous to touch. We work in your repo as PRs you review and merge, and test the access boundaries so an org can never see another's data.

How long does the enterprise checklist take?

Most builds land in six to ten weeks, depending on how many items the checklist has and how deep the SSO and RBAC requirements run. It's on the flat monthly subscription — with multiple plans available — so you pay for the active weeks, not a fixed total, and can reprioritize as deals shift.

Should we build enterprise auth ourselves or buy Auth0, WorkOS, or Clerk?

Both — and the buy part is the easy 20%. Auth0, WorkOS, and Clerk give you a SAML connection and a login box; they don't give you the permission model wired to your data, the audit trail across your actions, the SCIM / directory sync provisioning logic, or the QA and rollout. This build does the enterprise-ready authentication implementation end to end and stays vendor-neutral — we integrate whichever components fit and own the app-side code you actually get judged on in a security review, so you're not locked to one provider's roadmap.

Do you cover SCIM / directory sync and org-level provisioning?

Yes, when the deal needs it. On top of SSO implementation we wire SCIM / directory sync so users and groups provision and deprovision from the buyer's Okta or Azure AD directory automatically — the offboarding control enterprise security teams look for on the security review checklist.

Engagements - Ship the enterprise checklist: SSO, RBAC, audit logs, data export

A big logo wants to buy, and the deal is stuck behind the same list every time: SAML SSO, role-based permissions, audit logs, data export, a security questionnaire your two engineers can't get to. Each item is a week they don't have, and the deal cools while it waits. A build ships the whole enterprise checklist as one engagement, built to hold up when the buyer's security team starts clicking — so the next deal doesn't stall on the same asks.

What you'll have at launch

The enterprise features that close deals: SAML/OIDC SSO, RBAC, tamper-evident audit logs, and data export — built to survive a security review.

SAML and OIDC SSO working with Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace, so 'does it work with our IdP?' stops killing deals.
A real role-based access model — org admins, members, read-only, per-resource scoping — that survives a security review.
Tamper-evident audit logs for every sensitive action, with a viewer the buyer's compliance team can actually use.
Data export and deletion flows, plus the security-questionnaire answers backed by real behaviour.

How we build it

A build runs 6–10 weeks typical, shipped week by week in increments you review and merge.

Weeks 1–3 · Identity & access

SAML/OIDC SSO and the role-based access model go in first — the two items that block the most deals. We wire real IdPs (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace) and build a permission model that holds up to per-resource scoping, not just an admin/not-admin flag.

Weeks 4–7 · Audit, export & isolation

Tamper-evident audit logging goes across every sensitive action with a usable in-app viewer; data export and deletion flows get built; and the multi-tenant data isolation gets tightened and tested. These ship in weekly increments so your sales team can start answering questionnaires with 'yes, shipped.'

Weeks 8–10 · Questionnaire hardening & launch

We close the remaining security-questionnaire gaps — session handling, encryption at rest, admin controls — and do a review pass over the whole checklist. You end able to hand a prospect's security team a product that answers their list instead of a promise.

What's included

SAML and OIDC SSO wired to Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace, with SCIM provisioning where the deal needs it.
Role-based access control: org admins, members, read-only seats, and per-resource scoping that stands up to a security review.
Tamper-evident audit logs for every sensitive action, with a filterable in-app viewer for your customers' compliance teams.
Data export and deletion flows that satisfy enterprise data-handling and the questionnaires that ask about them.
Multi-tenant data isolation tightened and tested, so the permissions code isn't something you're nervous to touch.
The engineering answers to the security questionnaire — session handling, encryption at rest, access controls — backed by real code.

What a build like this looks like

Scopes we've shaped this engagement around. Yours is one of them, or close enough that week one settles it.

Okta or Azure AD is mandatory. The buyer's IT team only approves tools that sit behind their identity provider. SSO implementation for SAML and OIDC against Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace, tested with a real tenant, turns 'does it federate with our IdP?' from a deal-blocker into a yes.
A 200-row security questionnaire landed. SIG/CAIQ-style rows on access control, logging, encryption, and data handling. We build the technical answers — enterprise-ready authentication, tamper-evident logging, encryption at rest — so the security review checklist gets answered with shipped behaviour instead of roadmap promises.
They need real org roles, not an admin flag. One admin/not-admin switch won't clear procurement. RBAC implementation with org admins, members, read-only seats, and per-resource scoping gives the buyer the permission granularity their own security policy demands.
Compliance wants export, delete, and a paper trail. GDPR/DPA and enterprise data-handling clauses require export and deletion on demand. We build those flows plus the SaaS audit logs that record every access and change, so the compliance team can sign off on evidence rather than assurances.
Procurement added a directory-sync clause. Large buyers provision and deprovision by directory. SCIM / directory sync keeps users and groups in step with the buyer's IdP, so offboarding a leaver revokes access automatically instead of waiting on a support ticket.

How this build lowers your risk

Build vs buy, decided honestly. Auth0, WorkOS, and Clerk sell the components — a login box, a SAML connection, a user table. What closes the deal is the part they don't ship: the integration into your app, the permission model wired to your data, the audit trail across your actions, the QA, and the rollout. We treat those vendors as implementation context, not a partnership or a lock-in, and build the end-to-end app around whichever pieces fit.
Built to pass a security review. Every module maps to a line on the security review checklist enterprise buyers actually send — access control, logging, encryption at rest, session handling, export and deletion — so the questionnaire becomes answerable from shipped behaviour, not a promise.
SSO and SCIM tested against real identity providers. SSO implementation and SCIM / directory sync are built and tested against real Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace tenants, not a spec — because a spec-only integration is exactly where SSO breaks on the buyer's first login.
The permission code you're nervous to touch, tested. RBAC implementation and multi-tenant isolation ship as reviewed PRs with tests on the access boundaries, so tightening who-can-see-what never becomes the change that leaks one org's data into another's.

Is this the right build for you?

A good fit when

A named enterprise deal is stalled on SSO, RBAC, audit logs, or a security questionnaire.
You have a live B2B SaaS and need to make it enterprise-ready, not start from an empty repo.
You want one senior engineer owning the whole checklist over a month or more, shipping weekly increments you review.
Your team can review and merge PRs into your own repo as the work lands.

Not a fit when

You need a compliance auditor, policy writer, or someone to run the SOC 2 audit itself — we build to the requirements, we don't certify them.
You want a single-day auth bugfix or a login-button swap — that's a task, not a month-plus build.
There's no product yet; a SaaS MVP build comes before enterprise hardening.
You want a fully managed auth SaaS with no application code in your repo.

How it runs on the subscription

Enterprise readiness is a checklist of connected, security-sensitive work, so it runs as a build — the board dedicated to unblocking deals, shipping SSO, RBAC, and audit logs in weekly increments. We match the monthly plan to the workload, with most builds landing in six to ten weeks. You reprioritize toward whatever the live deal needs first, and after launch the same setup handles the next buyer's one-off ask one task at a time.
