Project Overview

Iqra Technology deployed a Nintex MFA Management System on SharePoint Online with integration to Azure Active Directory. Employees submit MFA enrolment, device change, reset, and exception requests through structured Nintex Forms. Workflows route requests to IT security and management approval, with automated Azure AD actions triggered upon approval — while the helpdesk retains a complete audit log of all MFA events.

Client Requirements

  • Digitise all MFA request types: enrolment, device change, reset, and temporary exception.
  • Route reset and exception requests through IT security approval.
  • Enforce time-limited exceptions with automatic expiry and notification.
  • Integrate with Azure AD to trigger MFA configuration changes post-approval.
  • Provide IT managers with a dashboard of all MFA events and active exceptions.
  • Automate reminder notifications for expiring MFA exceptions.
  • Maintain a full audit trail for all MFA management actions.
  • Reduce MFA-related helpdesk tickets by enabling structured self-service.

Challenges & Solutions

Problem 1IT was receiving MFA reset requests via email, Teams, and phone — with no structured intake, no audit trail, and resolution times of up to 3 days for straightforward resets that should take minutes.
SolutionBuilt a structured Nintex Form for MFA reset requests that captures device type, reason, and identity verification details. Approved resets trigger an automated Microsoft Graph API call to reset the user's MFA method in Azure AD — reducing resolution time from days to under an hour.
Problem 2MFA exceptions — where users were temporarily exempted from MFA for business travel, legacy system access, or other reasons — were granted informally with no expiry enforcement, creating permanent security gaps.
SolutionImplemented time-limited exception logic in the Nintex workflow. All exceptions require CISO or IT manager approval and are set with a mandatory expiry date. A scheduled workflow automatically re-enables MFA and notifies both the user and the IT team when the exception period ends.
Problem 3There was no consolidated view of which users had active MFA exceptions, when they were granted, by whom, or when they were due to expire — making security audits extremely difficult.
SolutionCreated a real-time MFA exception register in SharePoint showing all active exceptions, their expiry dates, approving manager, and business justification. IT security managers receive a weekly digest and can trigger early revocation directly from the dashboard.
