Stolen Passwords Should Not Be Enough to Lose a Document
Add a second-factor verification step at sign-in and on critical signing actions. Enforce stronger authentication for high-risk roles such as administrators, finance officers, and legal partners — with controls aligned to KDPA, ISO 27001, and NIST identity guidance.
Passwords alone are no longer enough to protect a document repository that holds privileged contracts, patient records, financial controls, and regulator-aligned evidence. A reused password leaked in an unrelated breach is one of the most common ways attackers gain access to enterprise systems. Dockria's Multi-Factor Authentication adds a second-factor verification step that means a compromised password is not enough to access your documents.
Multi-Factor Authentication can be enabled organisation-wide, or enforced selectively on the roles that handle the most sensitive material — system administrators, compliance officers, finance approvers, partners on privileged matters, and clinical leads. Lower-risk read-only users can continue with single-factor sign-in if your organisation prefers a lighter touch for the majority of staff.
Beyond sign-in, optional second-factor verification can be required at the moment of high-trust actions such as signing a contract, approving a release, or finalising a privileged record. This means even if an attacker gained access to an active session, they could not sign on a user's behalf without also passing the second-factor challenge — providing a powerful layer of defence against session hijacking and insider abuse.
Multi-Factor Authentication in Dockria is designed to support the identity expectations of the Kenya Data Protection Act, ISO 27001 access control requirements, and NIST identity guidance. For auditors, every authentication event — successful, failed, or challenged — is captured in the audit trail, providing the evidence regulators expect for access governance reviews.
Key Benefits
Second-Factor at Sign-In
A second verification step at log-in means stolen passwords alone are not enough for an attacker to reach your documents.
Per-User Enforcement
Enforce stronger authentication for high-risk roles such as administrators and finance approvers, while keeping simpler access for lower-risk users.
Verification at Signing
Optionally require a fresh second-factor check at the moment of signing or approving a high-value document, defending against session hijacking.
Regulator-Aligned Identity Controls
Designed to meet the access and authentication expectations of KDPA, ISO 27001, and NIST identity guidance, with full audit logging of every authentication event.
Industry Use Cases
Banks enforce second-factor verification on every administrator and credit-approval login, defending core financial records against credential reuse attacks.
Law firms require additional verification before partners sign settlement agreements or release privileged production sets to opposing counsel.
Hospitals enforce stronger authentication for staff with access to patient records, supporting HIPAA and KDPA expectations for sensitive personal data.
Government agencies enforce second-factor sign-in for officers with access to classified correspondence, citizen records, and procurement files.
