Introduction

This document outlines the business requirements for the project to install Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) across all login systems in our organization. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive overview of the project, including its objectives, scope, requirements, and stakeholders.

Business Objectives

The primary business objective of this project is to enhance the security of our login systems by implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This will help to:

  • Reduce the risk of unauthorized access
  • Protect sensitive data
  • Improve compliance with security regulations

Project Scope

In-Scope:

  • Implementation of 2FA on all internal and external login systems
  • Integration of 2FA with existing authentication mechanisms
  • User training and support for 2FA

Out-of-Scope:

  • Redesign of existing login systems
  • Implementation of other security measures outside of 2FA

Stakeholder Analysis

Internal Stakeholders:

  • IT Department: Responsible for implementing the 2FA solution
  • Security Team: Ensures that the 2FA solution meets security standards
  • HR Department: Facilitates user training and support
  • Employees: End-users of the 2FA system

External Stakeholders:

  • 2FA Solution Provider: Provides the technology and support for the 2FA implementation
  • Regulatory Bodies: Ensure compliance with security regulations
