Introduction

This Business Requirements Document (BRD) outlines the requirements for implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for enhanced security in our system. The document is structured to provide a comprehensive overview of the project, its objectives, scope, stakeholders, and specific requirements.

Business Objectives

The primary business objective is to enhance the security of our system by implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This will ensure that only authorized users can access the system, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

Project Scope

In-Scope:

• Implementation of 2FA for all user login processes.
• Integration with existing authentication systems.
• User interface changes to accommodate 2FA.
• User education and support for 2FA setup and usage.

Out-of-Scope:

• Changes to other security mechanisms not related to 2FA.
• Development of new authentication methods other than 2FA.

Stakeholder Analysis

Internal Stakeholders:

• Project Manager: Oversee the implementation of 2FA.
• IT Security Team: Ensure the security standards are met.
• Development Team: Implement 2FA in the system.
• QA Team: Test the 2FA functionality.

External Stakeholders:

• Users: End-users who will be required to use 2FA.
• Third-Party Authentication Providers: External services providing 2FA mechanisms.

Requirements

Functional Requirements

1. Requirement ID: FR-001

   • Description: Implement Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all user logins.
   • Priority: High
   • Source: Security Audit

2. Requirement ID: FR-002

   • Description: Allow users to choose between SMS-based and app-based 2FA options.
   • Priority: High
   • Source: User Feedback

3. Requirement ID: FR-003

• Description: Integrate 2FA with existing user authentication system.
• Priority: High
• Source: Internal Systems Analysis

4. Requirement ID: FR-004
   • Description: Provide a user-friendly interface for 2FA setup and management.
   • Priority: Medium
   • Source: User Experience Team

Non-Functional Requirements

1. Requirement ID: NFR-001

   • Description: 2FA process should not add more than 5 seconds to the login time.
   • Priority: High
   • Source: Performance Standards

2. Requirement ID: NFR-002

   • Description: Ensure 99.9% uptime for the 2FA service.
   • Priority: High
   • Source: Service Level Agreement

3. Requirement ID: NFR-003

• Description: Ensure 2FA data is encrypted both in transit and at rest.
• Priority: High
• Source: Security Policy

Assumptions

• Users have access to a mobile device for receiving 2FA codes.
• The current authentication system can be integrated with 2FA without major architectural changes.

Constraints

• Limited budget for additional hardware or software.
• Tight deadline for implementation due to upcoming security compliance requirements.

Risks

• Risk: User resistance to adopting 2FA.

  • Mitigation: Provide adequate user training and support.

• Risk: Integration issues with existing authentication systems.

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

Glossary

• 2FA: Two-Factor Authentication
• SMS: Short Message Service
• QA: Quality Assurance
