Compliance
Not only is MFA a powerful solution to maintain compliance with industry regulations, but it's also now a prerequisite for qualifying for cyber insurance.

Regulatory Compliance Standards
Regulations that typically require the implementation of multi-factor authentication include:
-
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): GDPR is a regulation enacted by the European Union to protect the data privacy of European citizens. The regulation requires businesses in the EU or those that process personal data of EU residents to implement measures to secure their data. MFA is one of the recommended measures.
-
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines: NIST guidelines recommend that login access to sensitive areas must require more than just a password. MFA is a requirement for many business practices, including IT systems access, email access, and remote access protocols.
-
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS): PCI DSS is a regulatory standard that payment cardholders and merchants must follow. The standard mandates security features that businesses must implement to ensure payment information security. MFA is one of the recommended security features.





Steps to Ensure Compliance
To ensure compliance with regulatory standards, businesses must take the following steps:
Determine Which Regulations Apply
Identify which regulatory compliance standards apply to your business. This can be achieved through working with a compliance consultant or legal professional.
Develop an MFA Policy
Develop an MFA policy with the requirements appropriate for your business.
Train Employees
Train employees on MFA policies and procedures. This can be in the form of virtual training sessions, workshops or training webinars to ensure that everyone within the company has the required knowledge and is following the policies in place.
Test the MFA System
Periodically test the MFA system to ensure that it adheres to your business's MFA policies.
Address Any Non-Compliance
If your business is not compliant, take action to address any issues immediately. Depending on the severity of the violation, this may include making updates to policies and procedures or discontinuing use of certain systems.
Zero Trust
As regulatory compliance standards continue to evolve, MFA will need to adapt to comply with them. One current trend is the push towards Zero Trust Architecture, which assumes that every user and device on a network is a potential threat, requiring MFA for every access attempt.
