Single Sign-On (SSO) Policy for FPCDunn.org
Purpose: The purpose of this Single Sign-On (SSO) policy is to ensure secure and convenient access to the FPCDunn.org website for all authorized users. This policy outlines the requirements and guidelines for implementing and using SSO on the website.
Scope: This policy applies to all users who access the FPCDunn.org website, including staff, members, and volunteers. It also applies to any third-party services integrated with the website that utilize SSO for authentication.
Policy:
SSO Implementation:
The FPCDunn.org website will implement SSO to allow users to access multiple services with a single set of login credentials.
The SSO system will integrate with the organization’s identity management system to authenticate users.
Third-party services integrated with the website will be configured to accept SSO authentication.
User Authentication:
Users will authenticate using their organizational email and password or other approved credentials.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) will be enforced for added security, requiring users to provide a second form of verification (e.g., SMS code, authenticator app).
Account Management:
User accounts will be created, managed, and deactivated through the identity management system.
Password policies, including complexity, expiration, and history, will be enforced in alignment with the organization's security standards.
Access to the website and its services will be based on user roles and responsibilities, with permissions granted accordingly.
Security Measures:
All SSO authentication requests will be encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols to protect user credentials.
The website will log all SSO activities, including login attempts, failures, and other relevant events, for security monitoring and auditing.
Regular security assessments will be conducted to ensure the SSO system remains secure and up-to-date with the latest security patches.
User Responsibilities:
Users must keep their SSO credentials confidential and not share them with others.
Users are required to report any suspicious activity or potential security breaches immediately to the IT department.
Users should ensure they log out from all services after using the website, especially on shared or public devices.
Incident Response:
In the event of a security breach or compromised credentials, the IT department will take immediate action to contain and resolve the issue.
Affected users will be notified, and their credentials will be reset.
The incident will be documented, and a post-incident review will be conducted to improve security measures.
Compliance:
This SSO policy is in compliance with relevant data protection regulations and organizational security policies.
Users found in violation of this policy may face disciplinary actions, including suspension of access privileges.
Review and Updates: This policy will be reviewed annually or as needed to ensure it remains relevant and effective. Updates will be communicated to all users with access to FPCDunn.org.
Approval: This policy has been approved by the IT department and the executive leadership of FPCDunn.org.
