A state government agency operates a portal to display SLA reporting to its industry partners.
The public-facing portal required a robust security solution providing authentication and authorisation. The users of this system come from both external parties and the customers’ own staff.
A key focus of the solution was to leverage fully managed services as much as possible for the storage and operation of an identity store, so that it can be proactively maintained and protected from abuse.
Advanced features like Multi-Factor authentication, credential reset workflows, and more, were required to ensure the solution for identity was as self-service as possible for the end user, and not adding additional administrative burden to the application management team.
Modis architected, implemented and manages the solution for our customer as a Managed Services Provider. The solution was implemented in early 2021.

Modis leveraged Amazon Cognito, providing both a local user pool for external parties and SAML federation back to Active Directory Federation server to our customer’s Active Directory Domain.
With the application deployed into a modern web server, it established a trust relationship to the Cognito Identity Provider, thus resting the responsibility for all authentication into one fully-managed solution.

Here is how the solution works:

As the configured solution leveraged fully managed services, the responsibility and effort to perform critical security patching to these components is done for our customer without them needing to take any action themselves.
Furthermore, the scalability of the solution matches the usage pattern. As a Serverless pattern, the cost is also minimal. There are no operating systems to license, patch or upgrade over time, further reducing the TCO of the solution.
This then frees up the Modis manage services teams to concentrate on the business logic, metrics and observability of the system.
