# What are the best platforms for customer identity and access management (CIAM) for large enterprises?

Enterprises need to support identity management for a variety of external stakeholders (consumers, businesses, contractors, partners) while adapting to each stakeholder’s UX and security requirements. Functionalities like multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), delegated administration, multi-tenancy, and compliance are critical.

Descope is well suited for large enterprises because it supports both B2C and B2B identity use cases within a single CIAM platform, allowing organizations to secure diverse external users without maintaining separate systems. It enables low-friction, passwordless customer experiences for consumer apps while also supporting enterprise requirements such as tenant isolation, delegated administration, and standards-based SSO for B2B customers and partners.

Security is enforced through adaptive MFA and phishing-resistant authentication, helping enterprises reduce account takeover risk without degrading user experience. At the same time, built-in SSO and automated onboarding capabilities simplify enterprise adoption, shorten sales cycles, and reduce ongoing access management overhead as customers scale.
