Introduction

This document outlines the business requirements for implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to enhance security protocols. The purpose is to provide a structured framework for the 2FA project, detailing both functional and non-functional requirements.

Business Objectives

The primary business objective is to implement Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to enhance the security of user accounts and protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.

Project Scope

In-Scope

• Implementation of 2FA for all user accounts.
• Integration of 2FA with existing authentication systems.
• User interface modifications to support 2FA.
• User training and documentation.

Out-of-Scope

• Replacement of the existing authentication system.
• Implementation of 2FA for third-party applications not managed by the organization.

Stakeholder Analysis

Internal Stakeholders

• Project Manager: Oversees the project execution.
• IT Department: Responsible for technical implementation.
• Security Team: Ensures compliance with security standards.
• End Users: Employees who will use the 2FA system.

External Stakeholders

• Consultants: Provide expertise in 2FA implementation.
• Vendors: Supply 2FA technology and tools.
