MFA: Beyond Passwords

Passwords get stolen and guessed. MFA adds a second lock - even with your password, attackers can't get in without your phone. It's the single most effective account protection.

What is it?

MFA requires two proofs: Something you know: Password. Something you have: Phone. Stolen passwords become useless. Microsoft says MFA blocks 99.9% of automated attacks. Required for Cyber Essentials.

Business Benefits

Password Theft Protection

Useless without your phone.

Phishing Resistance

Fake sites still lack your MFA.

Automated Attack Defence

Stops credential stuffing cold.

Compliance

Cyber Essentials requires it.

Risks Without It

Account Takeover

Password-only = complete access.

Email Compromise

Attackers redirect payments, steal data.

Breach Expansion

One account leads to broader access.

Certification Failure

No MFA = no Cyber Essentials.
