Introduction

The purpose of this Business Requirements Document (BRD) is to outline the requirements for the implementation of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Mike's Great Project. This document will provide a comprehensive overview of the business objectives, project scope, stakeholder analysis, and detailed requirements to ensure successful implementation.

Business Objectives

The primary business objectives of implementing 2FA are:

  • Enhance security for user accounts.
  • Reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
  • Improve user trust and confidence in the system.

Project Scope

In-Scope:

  • Implementation of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all user accounts.
  • Integration with existing authentication mechanisms.
  • User interface updates to support 2FA.

Out-of-Scope:

  • Changes to other security protocols outside of 2FA.
  • Overhauling the entire authentication system.

Stakeholder Analysis

Internal Stakeholders:

  • Project Manager: Oversees the project execution.
  • Development Team: Implements the 2FA solution.
  • QA Team: Tests the 2FA implementation.
  • IT Security Team: Ensures the 2FA meets security standards.

External Stakeholders:

  • End Users: Users who will be utilizing the 2FA feature.
  • Third-Party Authentication Providers: Services that may be integrated for 2FA.

Requirements

Functional Requirements

  1. Requirement ID: FR-001

    • Description: Implement Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all user accounts.
    • Priority: High
    • Source: Security Policy
  2. Requirement ID: FR-002

    • Description: Allow users to choose between different 2FA methods (e.g., SMS, email, authenticator app).
    • Priority: Medium
    • Source: User Feedback
  3. Requirement ID: FR-003

  • Description: Provide a user interface for enabling/disabling 2FA.
  • Priority: High
  • Source: UX Design Team

Non-Functional Requirements

  1. Requirement ID: NFR-001

    • Description: The 2FA system must support at least 100,000 concurrent users.
    • Priority: High
    • Source: Scalability Requirements
  2. Requirement ID: NFR-002

    • Description: The 2FA process should not exceed 5 seconds from initiation to completion.
    • Priority: Medium
    • Source: Performance Standards

Assumptions

  • Users have access to a secondary device for receiving 2FA codes.
  • Existing authentication mechanisms are compatible with 2FA integration.

Constraints

  • The project must be completed within 6 months.
  • Budget constraints limit the use of expensive third-party solutions.

Risks

  • Risk: Users may find the 2FA process cumbersome.

    • Mitigation: Provide clear, user-friendly instructions and multiple 2FA options.
  • Risk: Integration issues with existing authentication systems.

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

Glossary
