Multi-Factor Authentication Policy

Recent technological capabilities have paved the way for more information to be accessible online. This means the call to safeguard sensitive data and systems from unauthorized access has become a major concern, especially for companies that handle vast amounts of documents, such as personal information, financial accounts, and proprietary business resources.

This reality requires the adoption of a multi-factor authentication policy within organizations. ​​Multi-factor authentication is a powerful tool for safeguarding sensitive data from unauthorized access.

The purpose of this customizable policy, created by Maria Carrisa Sanchez for TechRepublic Premium, is to provide guidelines for using multiple forms of verification to access an organization’s sensitive information, resources, and systems.

    ENROLLMENT PROCEDURE

    New employees will receive an email that contains detailed instructions about their enrollment in the multi-factor authentication system. Using the company credentials that were provided during onboarding, employees must access the designated multi-factor authentication registration system.

    Employees will be asked to set up their primary authentication factor by creating or confirming a secure password. Then, they will choose at least one secondary authentication factor from the following options:

    One-time password generated by a hardware token or software application.

    Push notifications to a registered mobile device.

    Biometric verification (e.g., fingerprint or facial recognition).
