As cyber threats continue to evolve, protecting sensitive business information requires more than simply relying on usernames and passwords. That’s why the Engeneum platform supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), providing organisations with an additional layer of protection when users access their information.

MFA strengthens account security by requiring users to provide an additional form of verification alongside their normal login credentials. This significantly reduces the risk associated with compromised or stolen passwords and helps organisations strengthen the security of access to important business documents and data.

Clients increasingly choosing MFA

Security has always been an important part of the Engeneum approach. The Engeneum platform is designed to help organisations securely manage, share and process digital information, supporting applications including HR records, e-Payslips, invoices and other sensitive business documents.

An increasing number of Engeneum clients have now chosen to enable Multi-Factor Authentication as part of their own security strategy.

For many organisations, MFA represents a straightforward but valuable improvement to their security posture. It provides greater confidence that the person accessing an account is genuinely the authorised user, even if a password has been compromised.

Andrew Pett, Chief Technology Officer at Engeneum, said:

“Security has to evolve alongside the threats organisations face. Multi-Factor Authentication adds another important layer of protection to the Engeneum platform and makes it considerably harder for compromised credentials alone to result in unauthorised access. We’ve made MFA available so our clients can strengthen access security without making their everyday processes unnecessarily complicated.”

Andrew has overseen the development of Engeneum’s online platform and infrastructure since becoming CTO in 2017, including the migration of Engeneum services to Microsoft Azure.

Security without unnecessary complexity

One of the challenges for organisations is improving security without creating barriers that make systems difficult for employees, customers or suppliers to use.

MFA addresses this by adding an additional security check to the authentication process while allowing organisations to continue providing convenient online access to information.

For Engeneum clients using the platform to provide access to sensitive documents and data, that additional protection can form an important part of a wider information security and governance strategy.

Chris Haden, CEO of Engeneum, said:

“Our clients trust Engeneum with important business information, so protecting that information is fundamental to what we do. We’re pleased to see so many clients adopting Multi-Factor Authentication. It is a relatively simple step that can make a meaningful difference to security and demonstrates that organisations are taking the protection of their information seriously.”

A practical step towards stronger digital security

Cybersecurity isn’t achieved through one technology alone. Effective protection requires multiple layers of security, appropriate policies and good user practices.

Multi-Factor Authentication is one of those layers and one that organisations can implement without fundamentally changing the way their teams work.

With MFA available on the Engeneum platform, clients can add another level of protection to their digital information while continuing to benefit from secure, convenient access to the documents and business processes they need.
