New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM) 16.7.44.C.01: 16.7.44.C.01 MFA design considerations (first listing)

The design of an agency's MFA should take into account: identifying risks; the level of security and access control suited to each part of the organisation's systems, whether data, devices, equipment, storage, cloud or similar; a formal process for authorising user access to systems and entitlements; logging, monitoring and reporting of activity; reviewing logs for orphaned accounts and inappropriate access by users, failed authentication included; spotting errors and anomalies that may point to inappropriate or malicious activity; incident response; fixing errors; suspending or revoking access rights where policy is breached; and capacity planning. The same list is printed again at 16.7.44.C.07.
