MFA Policy
Multi-Factor Authentication for Account Protection
Effective Date: January 8, 2025
Version: v1.4
This MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) Policy outlines the requirements and standards Splitifi applies to protect user accounts through layered authentication methods.
1. MFA Requirement
All Splitifi user accounts—litigants, attorneys, and judges—are required to enable MFA to gain full access to the platform. MFA is enforced during initial account registration and at any login from a new device.
2. Supported Authentication Methods
- Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) using apps like Google Authenticator or Authy
- SMS-based codes sent to verified mobile numbers (optional fallback)
- Biometric authentication (Face ID or fingerprint, where supported by device)
3. Device Registration
Users may register trusted devices for easier access. Device trust is monitored, and devices may be deauthorized automatically after extended inactivity or suspicious behavior.
4. Session Management
Sessions expire after 30 minutes of inactivity. MFA is required upon re-login, ensuring that unauthorized parties cannot regain access through lingering sessions.
5. Account Recovery
If a user loses access to their MFA device, identity verification is required via secure channels to reset credentials. Splitifi may request additional documentation to complete this process.
6. Administrative Enforcement
Admins and support personnel must use MFA at all times when accessing user-related backend data or diagnostic systems. Role-based access is strictly enforced through authentication tiers.
7. Security Monitoring
Login attempts are logged, and alerts are triggered for:
- Login from new geographic locations
- Repeated failed MFA attempts
- Access from unrecognized browsers or IP ranges
8. Continuous Improvement
Splitifi regularly evaluates MFA protocols in response to emerging threats and user feedback. All updates will be reflected in this policy and communicated to users accordingly.
