Introduction

The purpose of this Business Requirements Document (BRD) is to outline the requirements for implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in the organization's systems. This document will serve as a guide for the development and implementation of 2FA to enhance security measures and protect sensitive data.

Business Objectives

The primary business objectives for implementing 2FA are:

• Enhance security measures to protect sensitive data.
• Reduce the risk of unauthorized access to systems.
• Comply with industry standards and regulations for data protection.
• Increase user trust and confidence in the organization's security practices.

Project Scope

In-Scope:

• Implementation of 2FA for all user login processes.
• Integration of 2FA with existing authentication systems.
• User training and support for 2FA.
• Continuous monitoring and maintenance of 2FA system.

Out-of-Scope:

• Changes to existing user roles and permissions.
• Implementation of 2FA for third-party applications not managed by the organization.

Stakeholder Analysis

Internal Stakeholders:

• IT Department: Responsible for the technical implementation and maintenance of 2FA.
• Security Team: Ensures the 2FA implementation meets security standards.
• Compliance Team: Verifies that the 2FA implementation complies with relevant regulations.
• End Users: Employees and contractors who will use 2FA for system access.

External Stakeholders:

• Vendors: Providers of 2FA solutions and support services.
• Regulatory Bodies: Organizations that enforce data protection regulations.

Requirements

Functional Requirements

• Priority: Medium
• Source: IT Department

4. Requirement ID: FR-04
   • Description: Implement a user-friendly interface for 2FA setup.
   • Priority: Medium

Non-Functional Requirements

1. Requirement ID: NFR-01

   • Description: Ensure the 2FA system has high availability and reliability.
   • Priority: High
   • Source: IT Department

2. Requirement ID: NFR-02

   • Description: The 2FA solution must comply with industry security standards.
   • Priority: High
   • Source: Compliance Team

3. Requirement ID: NFR-03

• Description: The 2FA implementation should not significantly impact system performance.
• Priority: Medium
• Source: IT Department

4. Requirement ID: NFR-04
   • Description: Provide comprehensive documentation and user training for 2FA.
   • Priority: Medium
   • Source: IT Department

Assumptions

• Users have access to the necessary devices (e.g., mobile phones) for 2FA.
• The current authentication system is compatible with the 2FA solution.
• Adequate resources and budget are available for the implementation of 2FA.

Constraints

• Limited timeframe for implementation due to regulatory deadlines.
• Potential resistance from users unfamiliar with 2FA technology.
• Integration challenges with legacy systems.

Risks

• Risk: User resistance to adopting 2FA.

  • Mitigation: Provide user training and support to ease the transition.

• Risk: Technical issues during integration with existing systems.

  • Mitigation: Conduct thorough testing and have a rollback plan.

• Risk: Delays in obtaining necessary 2FA solution components from vendors.

• Mitigation: Engage with multiple vendors to ensure timely delivery.

Glossary

• 2FA: Two-Factor Authentication, an additional layer of security requiring two forms of identification.
• SMS: Short Message Service, a text messaging service.
• Authenticator App: A mobile application that generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs).
