Enterprise-Wide Multi-Factor Authentication and Security Enhancement Initiative

The client operates in the waste and recycling industry with multiple regional offices, and has recently expanded remote workforce capabilities and mobile computing solutions. These initiatives have increased the attack surface, exposing vulnerabilities related to data security, application integrity, and regulatory compliance, risking data breaches and operational disruptions. The client requires a robust security framework to safeguard sensitive data, ensure secure remote and mobile access, and maintain compliance with industry standards.

A medium to large-scale waste and recycling services provider operating across multiple states, focused on environmentally conscious solutions and regulatory compliance.

• Implement a centralized Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) system to streamline secure access for all employees across multiple locations.
• Enhance security layers to protect corporate data and mobile applications from unauthorized access.
• Simplify login procedures to reduce password fatigue among approximately 500 users.
• Establish a proactive security posture with continuous assessment and gap identification.
• Enable rapid revocation and management of user access in case of device loss or employee departure.
• Align security configurations with industry best practices and regulatory standards such as CIS benchmarks.

• Integration with cloud-based identity providers (e.g., Azure AD or similar) for centralized user management.
• Deployment of MFA across all user devices, supporting mobile notifications and approvals.
• Centralized portal for managing security policies, user access, and device status.
• Automated de-provisioning capabilities to revoke access swiftly upon device loss or employee exit.
• Customizable governance policies in line with industry standards (e.g., CIS benchmarks).
• Continuous security assessment tools to identify and address vulnerabilities proactively.

• Existing user directory systems for seamless identity management
• Mobile device management solutions for remote device control
• Security policy and compliance frameworks for continuous assessment

• Support for at least 500 concurrent users with scalability for future growth
• High availability and minimal downtime for authentication services
• Security compliance aligned with industry best practices (e.g., CIS benchmarks)
• Fast response times for authentication and policy updates
• Regular vulnerability assessments and patch management routines

The implementation of a centralized MFA solution and enhanced security policies is expected to simplify user authentication, reduce password fatigue, and strengthen data protection across the organization. These measures will lead to improved compliance with industry regulations, reduced risk of security breaches, and a more resilient IT infrastructure capable of supporting remote and mobile workforce demands effectively.
