Will you be supporting HIPAA/PIPEDA as well? I'm just teeing up all of this work for a healthcare SaaS offering, non-trivial. We're presently deployed as a "per-customer" model as some require enterprise options, others not so much. Would be great to have a tool that fills those gaps simply when/as required. Looks great, I'll definitely be going through it in more detail after work.
Yep - everything in WorkOS already pipes into our Audit Log so it's quite close. Would love to learn more about your app. Send me a note and we can chat? mg@workos.com
This is extremely impressive. The value prop, the product, all of it. It resonates.
I was at a startup 5 or so years ago, and now am at a very large company. The world of pain you enter as a small shop when the Large Co. takes you through their third-party compliance and enterprise IT requirements are mind boggling. WorkOS seems to be that critical and much overdue on-ramp between startups and the FT500.

#43A slightly offtopic question. Besides older systems/older systems integration is there any reason to have SAML based SSO? It always seemed to me that if you do not have to support SAML for some older systems the get to go solution is to use a OAuth2 based solution like OpenId Connect.
I think you answered your own question. If the client/partner/customer supports SAML, now you do, too.

#44Sounds very cool. For the purposes of pricing, what are "enterprise users"?

#45Hi HN! I’m the founder of WorkOS ( https://workos.com ) We provide a developer API for making your app enterprise-ready. You can quickly add features including SSO/SAML, Director Sync (SCIM), Audit Logs, and more. WorkOS is “Plaid for enterprise IT systems.” I learned about these enterprise requirements the hard way. Previously, I founded Nylas where we built an email app called Nylas Mail. We couldn’t monetize that…
One issue with Enterprise Software that I've experienced is that all subcontractors are scrutinised and have to be listed in contracts, clients has to be notified/approve changes etc.
I would love to pay you money but run this somehow under AWS (Marketplace?) so that I don't have to request signatures from all our clients.
The issue, AFAICT, is all about who has access to personal data and where that data is hosted (jurisdiction wise).

#46I wish I would have found this 3 month ago ...
Oof sorry you had to go through it! What did you end up building?
We just build our own SCIM endpoint and are now trying to integrate it into OKTA. I'll never get that time back that I spend reading the SCIM spec. Could have used it to build something that adds value to our customers.

I'm just in the process of adding SSO to our iOS app and scratching my head trying to figure where to start....
What you're looking for is Firebase Authentication & customs tokens to link with your current auth system.

#48Looks nice indeed @grinich ! Excuse the naive question but : what's the difference between workOS and software such as amplitude or mixpanel for audit trail logs ?
From what I understand, you have to declare events as you would do with analytics software. And your docs doesn't say how you make the audit trail available to the customers. If I have to do the proxy myself, then I really do not see the difference with an analytics software.

How would this solution have helped you? You'd have to integrate WorkOS in your app instead of standardised SCIM?

#50Realy nice and clean website, I love the simplicity. It's a small thing but I would avoid black CTA in the project. Using colors could increase interaction with design ;)
Maybe you would like to also introduce your tool to our audience on Owwly (https://owwly.com)? I think you can find there some potential users.
