Passwordless Authentication Procurement Ticket

Routing, priority, and vendor details locked in. The subject line: Passwordless Authentication Procurement Ticket. No one argued. No one stalled. Security and speed had a deadline.

Passwordless authentication is more than a security upgrade; it’s an operational shift. It removes friction. No passwords stored, no reset workflows, no breach vectors tied to credential dumps. Every login flows through possession-based or biometric factors. For procurement, it means working with providers who can deliver strong authentication without the baggage of password management.

A procurement ticket for passwordless authentication needs clarity. Define requirements. List supported protocols—WebAuthn, FIDO2, OAuth2. Identify integration targets across existing IAM, SSO, and microservices. Include testing environments and rollout phases. Vendors must prove compliance with privacy rules and data protection laws. Evaluate API robustness, SDK quality, and documentation depth before sign-off.

Speed matters. The procurement cycle should map directly to deployment. Choose vendors that demonstrate their systems under load, with failover scenarios and audit logging enabled. Look for configuration flexibility to match existing infrastructure without rewrites. Prioritize support response times—security incidents demand immediate action, not days of waiting.

Cost analysis is simple: passwordless cuts help desk tickets, reduces time spent handling login issues, and lowers risk exposure. Calculate ROI based on reduced credential maintenance and breach mitigation. Factor in the developer time saved on password storage and hashing systems.

When the procurement ticket closes, execution should follow immediately. Passwordless isn’t theoretical—it’s a live security and usability upgrade ready to cut risk on day one.
