Does MFA really make a significant difference to security?

It is one of the highest-impact security controls available. Microsoft research shows MFA stops over 99 percent of automated account compromise attempts. A stolen password alone is useless to an attacker if they cannot also access the authenticator app in your employee's pocket. For the cost and effort, nothing delivers comparable protection.

Which applications does managed MFA cover?

Managed MFA covers Microsoft 365, Azure, VPN and remote desktop access, and the majority of cloud and line-of-business apps that support modern authentication standards. During onboarding we audit your application inventory and confirm coverage. Apps that do not natively support MFA are protected through a secure proxy layer.

What happens when an employee forgets their phone or loses their authenticator?

We maintain a managed recovery process. Staff contact us directly, we verify their identity through a pre-established procedure, and we issue a temporary access code. We then re-enroll the authenticator on their new or recovered device. Average resolution time is under 30 minutes during business hours.

Is managed MFA required for cyber insurance or compliance?

Most cyber insurers now list MFA as a non-negotiable baseline control, and frameworks including HIPAA Security Rule, NIST CSF, and PCI-DSS strongly recommend or require it. Managed MFA provides the documented enforcement and audit logs that insurance underwriters and compliance auditors need to confirm the control is active and enforced.

Does my cyber insurance require MFA?

Almost certainly. Most insurers now require MFA on email, remote access, and admin accounts before they will quote a policy or pay a claim. We deploy it across your accounts and document it so you can answer the application honestly.

Multi-Factor Authentication

bdManagedIT protects North Georgia businesses from credential theft and account takeover through managed multi-factor authentication (MFA), a service that adds a verified second layer to every login across your apps and accounts.

Book your first appointment Take the security assessment

Stolen passwords are behind the majority of data breaches, and most businesses have no way to stop an attacker who has a valid username and password. Managed MFA closes that gap by requiring a second proof of identity at every login. We deploy, configure, and manage MFA across your entire environment so every employee is covered from day one, without the helpdesk headaches that poorly configured MFA creates.

What's included

Organization-wide MFA deployment

Managed MFA extends coverage to every user account across Microsoft 365, line-of-business applications, VPNs, and remote access tools. We handle enrollment, push the authenticator app to devices, and confirm coverage before we consider setup complete.

Authenticator app and hardware token support

Staff authenticate via a mobile authenticator app using time-based one-time codes. For roles with higher risk or no smartphone, we support hardware tokens that deliver the same protection without a phone requirement.

Conditional access policies

Not every login carries the same risk. Managed MFA integrates with Microsoft conditional access to apply stricter verification when someone logs in from an unfamiliar device, an unusual location, or outside business hours.

Enrollment management and support

New staff get enrolled during onboarding. Departing staff are offboarded immediately. We monitor authentication logs for anomalies and handle MFA resets directly so your team never waits long when they are locked out.

What you get

Stop 99 percent of account takeover attacks

Microsoft reports that MFA blocks over 99 percent of automated credential attacks. Even if an attacker steals a password through phishing or a data breach, they cannot get in without the second factor that only your employee holds.

Satisfy cyber insurance requirements

Nearly every cyber insurance policy now requires MFA as a baseline control. Businesses without MFA face coverage denial or premium surcharges. Managed MFA gives you documented, auditable coverage that satisfies underwriters.

Protect remote and hybrid workers

Remote access is the highest-risk authentication surface for any business. Managed MFA ensures that staff working from home, a client site, or a hotel are just as well protected as those in the Madison or Woodstock office.

Fully managed, zero helpdesk burden

Badly configured MFA becomes a helpdesk nightmare. We handle every enrollment, reset, and policy change as part of your flat-fee plan so your staff stays productive and your IT costs stay predictable.
