Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention involve a method and system including a network access control server, an authentication application running on a software-as-a-service server, and a client application running on a user device. The client application collects compliance data regarding the user device and communicates the compliance data to the network access control server. The network access control server generates a compliance check result based on whether the compliance data indicates that the user device is compliant with a security policy for the software-as-a-service server. The authentication application grants access by the user device when the compliance check result is positive; and the authentication application denies access by the user device when the compliance check result is negative. In some embodiments, the compliance check result is stored in a cookie of one or more web browsers installed on the user device.
