Continuous access evaluation and B2B SaaS. Here's what to build.
Blog post from WorkOS
The Continuous Access Evaluation Protocol (CAEP) addresses the gap in traditional B2B SaaS applications that typically make a single access decision at login, leaving sessions vulnerable until token expiration. Unlike traditional systems that rely on periodic checks to determine session validity, CAEP enables identity providers to instantly inform applications of changes such as session revocations or device non-compliance, allowing for immediate action. This protocol, part of the OpenID Foundation's Shared Signals Framework, has been gaining traction following the finalization of its specifications alongside the Risk Incident Sharing and Coordination (RISC) profile. Key industry players, including Microsoft, Google, and Okta, have begun implementing CAEP features, signaling a shift towards continuous identity evaluation and away from static, one-time authentication. While the technology is still in early stages and its implementation varies across vendors, it represents a critical evolution in enhancing security by ensuring ongoing validation of user sessions, potentially closing long-standing security gaps in applications.
