Looking to Enhance Security and Simplify Access for Your Sports Organisation?
Single Sign-On (SSO) provides a robust solution for sports organisations seeking to improve their digital experience. By enabling fans, players, and staff to access multiple platforms with a single login, SSO enhances convenience, engagement, and security.
In this guide, Cortex will explain why SSO is crucial for modernising your access management and security practices and how it can transform your organisation’s digital interactions and data strategies.
But first…
Why Listen to Us?

The result? Improved operational efficiency and heightened user satisfaction across the board.
What Is Single Sign-On (SSO)?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that lets users access multiple apps and services with a single set of login credentials.
For fans, SSO represents a convenient, hassle-free way to engage with digital experiences. For organisations, SSO brings a much more powerful set of benefits—improved security and a unified view of fan data that unlocks insights and enhances the fan experience.
To give an example, without SSO, a fan might have separate logins for your ticketing platform, mobile app, and merch store. With SSO, that same fan can access all these services with a single login. That means you can now link all their activities and create a more complete picture of their fan journey.
What is the Role and Benefits of Implementing SSO in Sports?
Enhancing Digital Experiences for Fan
Today’s fans engage with multiple digital platforms regularly—from ticketing systems and mobile apps to streaming services and fan forums. Single Sign-On (SSO) simplifies this experience by allowing users to access all these services with a single set of login credentials.
Cortex's SSO solution takes this integration to the next level. Unifying login systems across ticketing platforms, mobile apps, and other fan touchpoints enables effortless navigation between services. The result?
Increased fan engagement, higher satisfaction, and a more comprehensive understanding of fan behavior for sports organizations.
Streamlining Operations for Sports Organisations
For sports organisations, managing user access across various platforms can be cumbersome and time-consuming. SSO streamlines this process by centralizing authentication, which simplifies the management of access rights and reduces administrative overhead.
Cortex’s SSO solution centralises user access, allowing IT departments to handle authentication efficiently and minimise the complexity associated with multiple login systems. This approach leads to improved operational efficiency and reduced management costs.
Ensuring Security and Compliance
Security is a critical concern for sports organisations, particularly when managing sensitive fan data. Single Sign-On (SSO) addresses this by reducing the number of passwords users need to remember, which in turn lowers the risk of password-related breaches.
Cortex’s SSO solution goes further by incorporating advanced security measures such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and real-time monitoring. In the event of a security breach, SSO allows for immediate and comprehensive action, enabling organisations to swiftly revoke access across all linked platforms through a single account.
This robust approach not only enhances the security of fan data but also ensures adherence to stringent data protection regulations.
Fostering Better Fan Engagement
Implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) empowers sports organisations to offer a more personalised and engaging experience by providing a unified view of fan interactions across various digital platforms. This consolidated perspective allows organisations to gather and analyse comprehensive data on fan behaviour and preferences.
Cortex’s SSO solution leverages these insights to enable sports organisations to deliver highly targeted content, special offers, and promotions tailored to individual fan interests. For example, sports organisations can use data from SSO to offer exclusive content, early access to tickets, or personalised discounts based on a fan’s engagement history with team apps or websites.
This approach not only drives increased interaction but also strengthens the overall relationship between the fans and the organisation.
