Frequently Asked Questions

What is multi-factor authentication (MFA) and why is it essential for businesses?

Multi-factor authentication requires users to verify their identity with something they know (password) and something they have (a phone app code or hardware key). Even if an attacker steals a password, they cannot access the account without the second factor. The NCSC estimates MFA prevents over 99% of automated credential-based attacks.

Which MFA methods does Speedster IT recommend for businesses?

Speedster IT recommends Microsoft Authenticator (push notifications or number matching) for Microsoft 365 users, and hardware security keys (YubiKey or FIDO2 keys) for privileged accounts such as IT admins and executives. SMS-based MFA is better than nothing but is vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks and should be avoided where possible.

How long does it take to roll out MFA across a 50-person business?

With Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Authenticator, a 50-person MFA rollout typically takes 1–2 days of IT configuration plus a staff communication campaign. Speedster IT manages the rollout including a phased approach that starts with IT and management before rolling out to all staff, with helpdesk support for users who need assistance.

What is Conditional Access and how does it work with MFA?

Conditional Access is a Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) feature that defines when and how MFA is required. For example, MFA can be required for all logins from outside the office, for accessing sensitive applications, or when sign-in risk is detected. It is more flexible than blanket MFA and improves the balance between security and user experience.

Does Cyber Essentials require MFA?

The updated Cyber Essentials scheme (April 2023) requires MFA for all cloud services, remote access, and administrator accounts. Speedster IT ensures your MFA deployment meets the Cyber Essentials requirements and documents the configuration for the self-assessment submission.
