Benefits for government agencies

Cost
The login service is free for organizations.

One of the goals of Digital Iceland is to create reusable core services for organizations and thereby increase the synergistic effect in the operation of the government's IT systems.

With a central login service, operation, maintenance and development are done in one place.

Single sign-on
With a single sign-on service, the user experience will be the best, as the user only needs to identify once and can retrieve their data from different organizations.

The user only needs to authenticate once and can navigate between sites that have implemented login services without logging in again for a certain period of time.

Security and traceability
The fact that the individual is always identified is important for security and traceability.

Organizations will therefore be able to control access to individual parts of their websites and verify the user and his access to their web services.

This gives organizations the opportunity to ensure that no one accesses data except those who truly have the right to access.

This also gives organizations the opportunity to audit log an action so that it is traceable to the person who performed it, when applicable.
