MFA Fails When Rollouts Are Rushed
Dedham teams often enable MFA quickly but skip onboarding and fallback planning. That leads to lockouts, workarounds, and policy exceptions that weaken security.
A Practical 3-Phase Rollout
- Pilot: IT/admin users first, document issues and fixes
- Core Staff: Sales, operations, and management with guided enrollment
- Full Enforcement: Contractors and edge-case accounts with exception controls
Reduce Friction Without Lowering Security
- Use app-based prompts where possible
- Pre-define break-glass access rules
- Create a clear lost-device recovery process
- Train managers to reinforce compliance
Measure Adoption Weekly
Track enrollment rate, failed attempts, and help desk tickets. If lockouts spike, fix process gaps before expanding the rollout.
