Achieve Regulatory Compliance with Rublon MFA

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) mandates that organizations handling data related to individuals in the European Union implement stringent data protection measures. Compliance with GDPR is essential for protecting personal data from unauthorized access and breaches. One effective way to enhance data security and ensure GDPR compliance is by deploying multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Rublon MFA aids in meeting GDPR requirements by providing comprehensive and robust access controls. By requiring multiple forms of authentication, such as passwords, mobile app authentication, and biometric verification, Rublon MFA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive personal data. Rublon MFA helps organizations reduce GDPR risk by protecting applications that process personal data. When a breach occurs, regulators consider whether multi-factor authentication was used to protect personal data. Implementing MFA and documenting this measure demonstrates a strong commitment to data security and compliance. This proactive security measure not only mitigates risks but also sends a positive signal to customers, showing that the organization values the security of their data. By adopting Rublon MFA, businesses can ensure that only authorized employees have access to sensitive data, enhancing their overall security posture and building trust with clients and regulatory bodies.

Organizations that process and store card payment information must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). PCI DSS is designed to secure data for organizations handling branded credit cards. Key requirements include that MFA must be resistant to replay attacks, safeguard access to the cardholder data environment (CDE) for all users, and be activated for any remote access via VPN, RDP, VDI, and SSH. Additionally, users must authenticate twice if they first connect to the network hosting the CDE and then access the CDE itself. The same authentication factor cannot be used twice in the process, as this would not constitute true MFA.

Rublon MFA safeguards stored card data, enforces access controls, and safeguards network resources to ensure compliance with PCI-DSS requirements. Rublon satisfies PCI DSS requirements by providing robust multi-factor authentication (MFA) for VPN, RDP, VDI, and SSH. Rublon MFA offers connectors, applications, and custom SDK libraries for different technologies whose use allows organizations to enable MFA for both the network hosting the CDE, as well as the CDE itself. Rublon is a true MFA solution, which means no authentication factor is used twice.

Specifically, control IA-2(2) mandates the use of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for non-privileged accounts. MFA requires two or more different authentication factors: something you know (e.g., a PIN), something you have (e.g., a physical authenticator like a cryptographic private key), or something you are (e.g., a biometric). MFA solutions featuring physical authenticators include hardware authenticators that provide time-based or challenge-response outputs, and smart cards such as the U.S. Government Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card or the DoD Common Access Card (CAC). Organizations may also implement authentication mechanisms at the application level to enhance information security. Regardless of the access type—local, network, or remote—non-privileged accounts must be authenticated using appropriate MFA options to mitigate risk.

Rublon MFA helps organizations comply with NIST SP 800-53 by providing a robust multi-factor authentication solution tailored to meet the standard’s requirements. By incorporating multiple forms of verification, Rublon MFA ensures that non-privileged accounts are securely authenticated, aligning with control IA-2(2). This comprehensive approach covers all types of access, including local, network, and remote, and can be extended to application-level authentication for enhanced security. Rublon MFA integrates seamlessly with existing IT infrastructures, allowing organizations to efficiently implement these critical security measures. By adopting Rublon MFA, organizations can ensure compliance with NIST SP 800-53, safeguarding their systems and data while maintaining the highest standards of information security.
