What is SecureAccess Washington (SAW)?
SecureAccess Washington (SAW) provides self-administered single sign-on access to multiple agency applications, shields online services from harmful activity, and allows access only to known users. Accounts can access online services from state agencies with one username and password.
Why
Secure sign in is required by Washington State's Department of Information Services (WaTech)policy for state-owned or operated apps. SCC’s Conservation Practice Database System (CPDS) is a software included under these requirements. SCC has annual reporting requirements to WaTech to ensure security of state operated software systems. We identified a gap in our compliance with WaTech requirements during annual reporting and have worked to update the software to integrate with SecureAccess Washington (SAW) or Single Sign-on (SSO).
Outside the state government network
If you do not have a dot-wa-dot-gov ending to your email, you will log in under this option. A SAW account is needed. SAW is a single sign-on application gateway created by WaTech to simplify access to the growing list of government services accessible via the Internet.
