Introduction

The purpose of this Business Requirements Document (BRD) is to outline the requirements for implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for our systems. This document will guide the project team in ensuring all necessary components are included to meet the business objectives.

Business Objectives

The primary business objective is to enhance the security of our systems by implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

Project Scope

In-Scope:

• Implementing 2FA for all user login processes.
• Integrating 2FA with existing authentication systems.
• Providing user training and support for 2FA.

Out-of-Scope:

• Redesigning the entire authentication system.
• Implementing 2FA for third-party applications not managed by our organization.

Stakeholder Analysis

Internal Stakeholders:

• IT Security Team
• Development Team
• Operations Team
• User Support Team

External Stakeholders:

• End-Users
• Third-Party Security Consultants

Assumptions

• Users have access to mobile devices capable of receiving SMS or running authentication apps.
• The existing authentication system can be integrated with 2FA without major redesign.

Constraints

• Limited budget for purchasing third-party 2FA solutions.
• Time constraints for the project completion due to regulatory requirements.

Risks

• Risk: Users may face difficulties in using 2FA.

  • Mitigation: Provide comprehensive user training and support.
