Enhancing Security for Showoff CMS with SSO and 2FA

At ASP, protecting access to your event website is a top priority. While Showoff CMS does not include native two-factor authentication (2FA), you can achieve robust login security using Microsoft Single Sign-On (SSO) or Google SSO. Both providers support 2FA, helping safeguard your CMS accounts and maintain compliance with industry security standards.

Understanding Authentication in Showoff

Showoff relies on industry-standard authentication providers rather than built-in 2FA. Using Microsoft or Google SSO allows your organisation to enforce two-step verification, ensuring that only authorised users can access CMS features.

🔒 This approach leverages trusted platforms to secure your event website without requiring custom 2FA within Showoff itself.

Configuring Microsoft or Google SSO

1. Request SSO integration for your Showoff environment via ASP Support.

2. Choose a login provider — either Microsoft or Google.

3. Coordinate with your IT team to enforce 2FA on all Microsoft or Google accounts.

4. Test login workflows to confirm that 2FA is operational for all users.

Best Practices for Secure Logins

• Use SSO exclusively for Showoff CMS access.

• Enable mandatory 2FA in your Microsoft or Google admin console.

• Regularly audit user access and update credentials as needed.

• Educate CMS users on phishing awareness and strong password practices.

Conclusion: Keeping Your Website Secure

While Showoff CMS does not natively provide 2FA, integrating Microsoft or Google SSO adds a powerful security layer. Following these best practices ensures that your event website and sensitive data remain protected, providing a secure, reliable experience for both your team and attendees.
