Google SSO: Simplify and secure your authentication dashboard

Google SSO makes logging in faster, easier, and safer. With one trusted set of Google credentials, your team can access all authorized applications without juggling multiple passwords.

Sendmarc integrates with Google SSO, providing:

Centralized control – Manage access, enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA), and apply consistent policies from one place.
Reduced password risk – Minimize the chances of password reuse, weak complexity, or credential leaks.
Stronger protection – Lock down identity and email authentication.

By using Sendmarc’s DMARC management platform, organizations can gain both identity security and email trust – keeping users productive and protecting their brand.

Introduction to Google SSO

Single sign-on (SSO) allows users to log in once and securely access multiple applications with a single set of credentials – such as their Google account details. Google SSO gives businesses of all sizes a seamless way to reduce password fatigue and strengthen access control.

For companies using Google Workspace, Google SSO integrates directly with thousands of third-party applications. With Google as the primary identity provider (IdP), IT teams gain centralized control over user access, enabling consistent policy enforcement and simplified user management.

Sendmarc integrates with Google SSO to make secure access effortless. Authorized users can sign in to Sendmarc’s platform using their Google credentials, ensuring a smooth authentication process while maintaining enterprise-grade protection for email.

Understanding Google SSO

How Google SSO works

Google SSO lets users authenticate once with their Google account and then access multiple applications without re-entering credentials. When a user signs in, Google issues a secure token that confirms their identity. The application receiving the token validates it, and access is granted.

This approach reduces password exposure risks, simplifies the login process, and gives IT teams the ability to centrally manage access and instantly deactivate accounts when necessary.

Google SSO workflow at a glance:

User tries to access an application
The application redirects the user to Google for login
User authenticates with their Google account
Google issues a secure token
The token is passed back to the application
The application validates the token
Access is granted

Supported protocols and standards

Google SSO supports multiple authentication protocols and standards, giving companies the flexibility to integrate with both legacy and modern applications:

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML): An XML-based open standard widely used in enterprise environments for web-based SSO. Google acts as the IdP, sending digitally signed assertions that confirm user identity.
Open Authorization 2.0 (OAuth 2.0): An authorization protocol that enables limited access to resources.
OpenID Connect (OIDC): An identity layer built on top of OAuth 2.0. OIDC allows applications to authenticate users.

SAML is best suited for traditional enterprise apps, while OIDC and OAuth2 provide greater flexibility for modern cloud-native environments.

Benefits of using Google SSO for your business

Google SSO helps strengthen security while simplifying daily operations. Companies gain a balance of protection, efficiency, and scalability:

Enhanced user experience – Employees log in once with Google credentials to access all assigned apps, improving productivity and reducing login fatigue.
Improved security posture – Centralized authentication enables consistent enforcement of MFA, password policies, and session rules, while reducing risks from password reuse.
Centralized access management – IT teams can grant or revoke access from a single control panel, streamlining user management, safeguarding data, and eliminating unused accounts.
Decreased IT costs – Fewer password resets and lockouts ease the load on helpdesk teams and reduce support costs.
Scalable and flexible – Google SSO adapts to varied user groups and departments, ensuring access with consistent oversight.

By using both Sendmarc’s email security platform and Google SSO, companies achieve both simplified access and stronger protection against cyberthreats.

Google SSO FAQs

What is Google SSO?

Google single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication method that lets users sign in once with their Google account to securely access multiple connected applications and services. With Google SSO, users don’t need to re-enter credentials for every app, reducing password fatigue and improving security.

How does Google SSO work?

Google SSO works by redirecting a user to Google’s secure login page when they try to access an SSO-enabled application. After the user authenticates with their Google account, Google issues a security token that verifies the identity. The application validates the token, granting access without repeated password prompts.

What are the benefits of using Google Workspace SSO?

The benefits of Google Workspace SSO include centralized access management, improved security with features such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), and support for thousands of third-party apps. By reducing the number of passwords users need to manage, Google Workspace SSO enhances both user experience and overall security.

Can I use Google SSO to log in to Sendmarc?

Yes. Sendmarc supports Google SSO, allowing authorized users to access the platform securely with their Google account credentials. By using Google SSO, organizations simplify authentication, reduce the need for separate passwords, and ensure consistent security across systems.
