229 - Many organizations now need multi-factor authentication for enterprise software, including internal
230 - knowledge bases, documentation platforms, intranets and systems that contain operational procedures
231 - or sensitive business information.
316 + For a smooth rollout, start with a small administrator or pilot group before requiring MFA for everyone.

232 232   </p>
233 233  
234 - <p>
235 - For organizations using XWiki, adding MFA directly to the standard XWiki login flow can help close a
236 - practical access-control gap. The extension can support simple 2FA with one additional verification method,
237 - or a stricter MFA setup where both authenticator app and email verification are required.
238 - </p>
239 -
240 - <p>
241 - This can be relevant for organizations preparing for NIS 2, where multi-factor authentication or
242 - continuous authentication is part of cybersecurity risk-management measures, where appropriate.
243 - MFA support in XWiki is only one part of a broader compliance and security program, but it can be an
244 - important technical control for protecting access to the wiki.
