Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Businesses

Multi-factor authentication requires a second verification step beyond a password before granting access to a system. Even if an attacker has a user's password through phishing, credential stuffing, or a third-party breach, they cannot access the system without the second factor. For internet-accessible systems containing ePHI or sensitive client data, MFA is the single most effective control against unauthorized access.

BoTech audits every in-scope system for MFA status and enforces it where missing. This includes EHR systems, email, cloud storage, remote access (VPN), and any other application accessible over the internet. Administrative accounts receive the strictest enforcement, no exceptions. MFA enrollment is tracked per user. Quarterly access reviews document MFA status across all systems. This satisfies HIPAA access control requirements and SOC 2 logical access criteria.
