We explore what these changes mean for businesses, and how both Corppass and Singpass remain essential for organizations.
Utilizing the information available, we will attempt to best address these questions.
The rationale behind the change in April 2021
The rationale behind using Singpass as a single login system aligns with the government’s efforts to simplify the user experience of managing multiple sets of login credentials. According to Go Business Singapore, this step not only enhances the login process, but it also streamlines system operations.
What the change means for businesses
Corppass remains the one-stop authorization system for businesses to authorize or remove access rights to government digital services. A user’s Singpass ID is also automatically linked to the user’s Corppass account, making this change as frictionless as possible.
Aside from the login via Singpass, there appears to be no significant change in terms of how businesses utilize Corppass’ functions.
Corppass remains essential
In the updates from Smart Nation, it was reiterated that Corppass continues to be the single authorization system for businesses and entities to manage digital service access of employees who need to perform corporate transactions with the Government.
It also helps protect personal data, since it allows users to avoid using their personal Singpass to access corporate transactions. Should the Corppass admin be unavailable, he / she does not have to disclose personal details – if Singpass was being used instead of Corppass – to another colleague. Through Corppass, there will be separate login credentials.
Also, there are over 50 major government agencies onboarded with Corppass and businesses using their Singpass to login can transact with all of them.
Govtech mentioned that it will announce and roll out more enhancements in future. These will help facilitate secure and seamless corporate transactions.
Managing both Singpass and Corppass integrations
At Adnovum, we have developed a solution that allows businesses to manage both Singpass integration and Corppass integration, no matter the updates / changes in the ‘unforeseeable’ future. Known as Secpass, this solution allows businesses to enjoy multiple benefits.
Firstly, it serves as a one-stop integration of Singpass / Corppass for businesses with multiple applications and e-services. It can therefore be configured to allow customers to interact with multiple e-services after logging in just once.
It also serves as a single and common touch point between multiple applications and the identity provider (i.e. Singpass / Corppass) providing organizations of different sizes with a seamless Singpass authentication process.
The solution can also be integrated at a fraction of the cost when compared to custom Singpass / Corppass integrations. Furthermore, this entire setup can be up and running as quickly as 2 weeks!
