Data privacy has become a paramount concern, and BlockSurvey stands out as a beacon of trust and security. Committed to empowering users with complete ownership over their data, BlockSurvey faced the challenge of ensuring enterprise-level security and privacy for its customers. The solution? Ory’s Single Sign-On (SSO) powered by the open-source SAML Jackson (now Ory Polis).
What was the motivation to implement Enterprise SSO?
Raja Ilayaperumal (BlockSurvey): We were motivated to implement Enterprise SSO to enhance our platform's security and privacy. We aim to provide users with a seamless and secure login experience, protecting sensitive data collected through surveys. This step was crucial for fostering trust with their clients, particularly in sectors where data privacy is paramount.
What factors led you to select Ory Polis for this implementation?
Raja (BlockSurvey): We chose Ory Polis for its Enterprise SSO implementation due to Ory's flexibility, ease of integration with SuperTokens, and ability to meet specific security and privacy needs. Ory’s exceptional documentation and the choice to self-host the solution using our infrastructure made Ory an obvious choice for us.
Can you elaborate on the direct benefits and second-order benefits you observed following the adoption of Ory?
Raja (BlockSurvey): Following the adoption of Ory's solution, we observed direct benefits such as enhanced security and a streamlined login process. Additionally, offering single sign-on to our enterprise clients boosts their confidence in adopting and utilizing our platform. This, in turn, increases client engagement, contributing to our business growth and reputation in the market. In addition, our choice to offer SSO and use Ory has since empowered us to confidently encourage our clients to adopt SSO, a transition that is actively taking place.
In terms of business impact, how much time did it save BlockSurvey?
Raja (BlockSurvey): Thanks to the swift and proactive assistance from the Ory team, our first SSO integration and client onboarding went smoothly. While we did encounter a minor hiccup, as one does when working with large and complex software implementations, the Ory team quickly assisted and resolved the issue, allowing us to launch the feature on time.
BoxyHQ(now Ory)’s SSO is a key factor in engaging enterprise clients. This functionality boosts their confidence in adopting and utilizing our platform. With our inaugural client already onboarded, we're thrilled by the positive reception.
