+**Q:** Thank you, Predrag, for joining us today to discuss your experience with implementing **[Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO)](https://boxyhq.com/enterprise-sso)** and **[Audit Logs](https://boxyhq.com/audit-logs)** at Unicis.Tech. Let's start with your motivation behind implementing these solutions.

+
+**Predrag:** At Unicis.Tech, we are dedicated to providing our customers with the most secure and compliant platform possible. Security, privacy, and compliance are our top priorities. Enterprise SSO and Audit Logs are integral to any robust security and compliance program. SSO streamlines user access, reducing the risk of phishing attacks and password fatigue. Meanwhile, Audit Logs keep track of user activities, aiding in security incident investigations and regulatory compliance. Given the global nature of our platform and the numerous regulations we must adhere to, such as GDPR, ISO/IEC, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2, SSO and audit logs are essential for meeting these requirements. We firmly believe that SSO is not a luxury feature but a core security requirement.
