Introduction

This document outlines the business requirements for implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to enhance the security of our systems. The purpose of this document is to define the objectives, scope, requirements, assumptions, constraints, risks, and approval process for the project.

Business Objectives

The primary business objectives of the project are to:

• Enhance the security of user accounts.
• Reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
• Comply with industry security standards and regulations.
• Increase user trust and confidence in our systems.

Project Scope

In-Scope:

• Implementation of 2FA for all user accounts.
• Integration of 2FA with existing authentication systems.
• User interface updates to support 2FA enrollment and verification.
• Educational materials and support for users to adopt 2FA.

Out-of-Scope:

• Changes to existing password policies.
• Implementation of 2FA for third-party applications not integrated with our systems.

Stakeholder Analysis

Internal Stakeholders:

• Project Manager: Oversee the project implementation.
• IT Security Team: Ensure the 2FA solution meets security requirements.
• Development Team: Implement the 2FA solution.
• Customer Support Team: Provide support to users during and after the implementation.

External Stakeholders:

• End Users: Individuals who will be required to use 2FA.
• Regulatory Bodies: Ensure compliance with security regulations.
