Our Service
Multi-factor authentication is a simple, yet important part of your Safeguards Program. Most business software now offers MFA as a built-in feature. Implementation can be as easy as changing a setting at the administrator level of your software. If you need help setting up MFA at your dealership, Mosaic offers a free consultation and will provide recommendations for your MFA implementation. Often, if you are using a managed service provider they will be able to provide guidance and implement an MFA solution for you.
