Stolen credentials alone are not enough to get in.
MFA integrated into your VPN as standard. Every connection requires a second factor. Credential theft stops at the login screen, not inside your network.

MFA integration capabilities.
Authenticator App Integration
VPN login integrated with Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, or your existing MFA platform. Push notifications or TOTP codes required on every connection attempt.
Hardware Token Support
Physical hardware tokens supported for staff who cannot use a smartphone or where policy requires a physical second factor. FIDO2 and TOTP hardware tokens both supported.
Conditional Access Policies
MFA requirements configured based on context. Connections from unrecognised devices or unusual locations trigger additional verification steps. Trusted locations can be exempted where appropriate.
MFA Bypass Prevention
VPN gateway configured to reject connections that have not completed MFA. No fallback to password-only authentication. MFA cannot be bypassed by users or administrators without a formal exception process.
Self-Service MFA Enrolment
Staff enrol their own MFA devices through a guided self-service portal. IT team not required for individual enrolments. Backup codes issued and stored securely for account recovery.
MFA Compliance Reporting
Monthly reports confirming MFA is active on all VPN accounts. Failed MFA attempts logged and reviewed. Evidence formatted for cyber insurance, ISO 27001, and Cyber Essentials audits.
From assessment to MFA on every connection.
MFA Platform Assessment
We review your existing MFA platform and VPN infrastructure to determine the best integration approach. If no MFA platform exists, we recommend and deploy one suited to your size and budget.
Integration Design
MFA integration designed for your VPN gateway. Conditional access policies defined. Bypass prevention rules configured. Hardware token requirements identified for relevant staff.
Pilot Deployment
MFA integration deployed to a pilot group of users. Connection flow tested end-to-end. Edge cases including device loss and account recovery tested before organisation-wide rollout.
Organisation-Wide Rollout
MFA enrolment rolled out to all VPN users. Self-service portal opened. Staff guided through enrolment. IT team available to support users who encounter difficulties.
Bypass Prevention Enforcement
Password-only VPN authentication disabled once all users are enrolled. Bypass prevention rules activated. Any connection attempt without MFA completion blocked and logged.
Ongoing Monitoring and Reporting
MFA status monitored across all accounts. Failed attempts reviewed for suspicious patterns. Monthly compliance reports generated. Annual MFA configuration review included.
MFA protecting remote access across the UK.
Challenge: A London financial services firm had VPN access protected only by username and password. A phishing attack compromised three sets of credentials. Attackers accessed internal systems before being detected.
Outcome: MFA integrated across all VPN accounts within 48 hours of the incident. Subsequent credential compromise attempts blocked at MFA stage. Cyber insurer notified of remediation. No further incidents.
Challenge: A Birmingham NHS supplier needed to demonstrate to their NHS Digital Data Security and Protection Toolkit submission that all remote access to systems handling patient data was protected by MFA.
Outcome: MFA deployed on all VPN accounts. DSP Toolkit submission updated with MFA evidence. Toolkit assessment passed with no findings against remote access controls.
Challenge: An Edinburgh accountancy practice was required by their cyber insurer to implement MFA on all remote access as a condition of their policy renewal. They had 30 days to comply.
Outcome: MFA integrated with existing Microsoft 365 platform and VPN within two weeks. All staff enrolled. Compliance evidence provided to insurer. Policy renewed without premium increase.
