SSO and HCP
identity

Single sign-on and professional verification done properly.

SSO and HCP identity integration connecting your website’s authentication to enterprise single sign-on and, where relevant, a professional identity or registry verification system, done to a standard that satisfies both convenience and compliance.

The technology
What is included

What SSO and HCP
identity work involves

What it involves

Two distinct but related problems: enterprise SSO letting employees or partners authenticate with existing corporate credentials, and HCP identity verification confirming a website visitor is genuinely a licensed healthcare professional. Both need to be built correctly, not bolted on.

What we deliver

SSO integration with your identity provider where relevant, HCP verification built to a method your medical and regulatory team approves, session and access management, and a technical implementation that satisfies your security and compliance requirements.

Built to the policy your teams already set

We build to the identity policy your IT and compliance teams already define, and to the professional registry data they already source for HCP verification — the technical implementation follows their decisions rather than substituting our own.

What SSO and HCP identity
work has to solve by audience

Employee SSO and clinician verification are different problems. SSO and HCP identity work starts from that distinction.

Identity process
Four stages

How we build SSO
and HCP identity

Four stages. SSO and HCP identity work is built to whatever standard your IT and compliance teams set.

REQUIREMENTS
01
01

Whose identity, and to what standard

We establish with your IT and compliance teams what needs verifying — employee, HCP, partner — and to what standard of rigour.

What we establish

Precisely whose identity needs verifying — employee, healthcare professional, distributor, partner — and to what standard of rigour, agreed directly with your IT and compliance teams. We also identify any existing identity provider or professional registry already in place that the build should connect to rather than duplicate.

Result

A clear scope matched to the actual audience and the actual level of verification required, rather than a one-size-fits-all login system applied regardless of whether the audience is an employee or a prescribing physician.

PROVIDER INTEGRATION
02
02

Connected to what already exists

Where an identity provider or professional registry already exists, we build the connection to it rather than duplicating identity infrastructure.

What we build

SSO integration with your existing identity provider where one is in place, so employee or partner access follows the same rules as everywhere else. Where HCP verification is required, a connection to an accessible professional registry rather than building parallel identity infrastructure from scratch.

Result

Identity verification that reuses infrastructure your organisation already trusts and maintains, instead of adding another standalone system that IT has to secure and your users have to remember separately.

SESSION AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT
03
03

Correctly scoped and time-bound

We build session and access management appropriately scoped, so authenticated access does not persist longer than it should or extend further than intended.

What we build

Session handling built per identity type, so an employee session and an HCP session are not treated identically, access scoped precisely to what each identity type should be able to reach, and expiry timed to the sensitivity of what is behind the login.

Result

Access control that is correctly bounded, not merely present, since a login screen that never expires or grants broader access than intended is a compliance gap dressed up as a security feature.

SECURITY VERIFICATION
04
04

Tested to your security team's standard

We test the implementation against your security and compliance requirements before launch, working with your security function rather than presenting a finished system for after-the-fact approval.

What we test

The authentication flow itself tested for common weaknesses, session handling checked for correct expiry and scope, and the whole implementation verified directly against the compliance requirements your security team stated at the outset, not a general best-practice assumption.

Result

An implementation your security team has actually reviewed and verified before launch, working alongside them through the build rather than presenting a finished system for approval after the fact.

SSO and identity FAQ

SSO and HCP identity questions

What comes up when building authentication and identity verification.

Is this the same as HCP authentication?

Related, but not the same. HCP authentication covers the specific problem of verifying that a visitor is a licensed clinician, while this page covers the broader identity and single sign-on technology behind it, including employee portals and partner access scenarios. See HCP authentication for how clinician verification specifically works within that broader identity setup.

Can this integrate with our existing enterprise identity provider?

Yes, and connecting to your existing identity provider is typically the preferred approach rather than building parallel infrastructure. We integrate via standard protocols like SAML or OpenID Connect, so employees and partners authenticate with credentials they already use. This also means access changes and revocations managed centrally by your IT team take effect on the website automatically.

Do you supply the professional registry data for HCP verification?

No, registry data access is not something we provide. We build to whatever verification method your medical and regulatory team approves, and can integrate with a professional registry your organisation already has access to, but the registry relationship and its data licensing sit entirely with your organisation. This keeps verification aligned with whatever standard your compliance team requires.

Who defines the security standard this needs to meet?

Your IT security and compliance functions define the standard, whether that is a specific encryption requirement, session timeout policy, or audit logging need. We build and test the SSO implementation against whatever standard they set, rather than applying a generic assumption about what a pharmaceutical site should meet. Any gap gets flagged during the technical review before launch.
