IT Director faces impending Microsoft 2FA policy change requiring migration away from SMS/voice authentication, with no way to identify affected users for proactive communication, risking poor user experience and strained relationships.

No tooling to identify users with legacy MFA methods enrolled, so IT must either bother everyone or wait for failures, causing frustration. Microsoft's admin center lacks per-user MFA method reporting for mass transitions.

Workarounds Described

No existing search to find users with SMS/voice, so IT will have to bother everyone to catch those out of compliance
Promoting users to add changed method via Microsoft prompts, but no way to target
Manually checking user accounts or relying on help desk calls after lockout

Implied Software Gaps

Bulk identification of users with legacy MFA methods
Automated targeted communication to only affected users
Tracking of migration progress and compliance status

App Concept

MFA Migration Manager

A compliance dashboard that connects to Microsoft 365, scans all users for their registered MFA methods, flags those using SMS or voice, and automates targeted communication and migration to modern methods like the Authenticator app. It reduces IT burden, ensures uninterrupted access, and prevents help desk overload.

Key Features

Automated discovery of user MFA methods via Microsoft Graph API
Targeted email campaigns to only affected users with setup instructions
Progress tracking and compliance reporting per policy requirements
Self-service portal for users to enroll in new MFA methods
Integration with IT ticketing for support

Target Users: IT administrators in K-12 school districts and other organizations subject to cybersecurity insurance requirements and Microsoft 365

Revenue Model: Per-user per-year subscription, e.g., $2 per user per year for districts, with volume discounts
