At ITscope, we focus not only on a smooth orde­ring pro­cess but also on pro­tec­ting your data. That’s why we will soon be intro­du­cing two-factor authen­ti­ca­ti­on (2FA). This will make log­ging in more secure—without making it unneces­s­a­ri­ly complicated.

2FA adds a second veri­fi­ca­ti­on step to your pass­word. This means that even if someone knows your pass­word, your account remains pro­tec­ted. The solu­ti­on is pro­vi­ded by our parent com­pa­ny, Exact, which sup­ports over 550,000 busi­nesses across Europe with secu­re cloud solutions.

Why is two-factor authentication worthwhile?

A strong pass­word is good, but two-factor authen­ti­ca­ti­on is bet­ter. Even if log­in cre­den­ti­als fall into the wrong hands—whether through phis­hing or data breaches—unauthorised indi­vi­du­als can­not access your account. In addi­ti­on to your pass­word, an extra veri­fi­ca­ti­on step is requi­red, such as using an authen­ti­ca­ti­on app.

You are pro­ba­b­ly alre­a­dy fami­li­ar with this pro­cess from your bank or other online ser­vices. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) also recom­mends using two-factor authen­ti­ca­ti­on to pro­tect sen­si­ti­ve data. We are now imple­men­ting this pro­ven secu­ri­ty mea­su­re at ITscope as well. This ensu­res that your account remains secu­re against unaut­ho­ri­sed access—with mini­mal effort in your dai­ly routine.

Secure with Exact Online – a proven solution

As part of the Exact Group, ITscope reli­es on Exact Online’s secu­re and tes­ted authen­ti­ca­ti­on solu­ti­on. The Exact Group, based in the Netherlands, not only deve­lo­ps busi­ness soft­ware for ERP and finan­cial manage­ment but also places gre­at empha­sis on data pro­tec­tion and IT security.

With the new 2FA, your ITscope account remains pro­tec­ted while kee­ping the log­in pro­cess simp­le. After ente­ring your pass­word, you con­firm access using an app—a relia­ble secu­ri­ty mecha­nism that has been wide­ly adopted by businesses.

What does 2FA mean for you?

Two-factor authen­ti­ca­ti­on will be rol­led out gra­du­al­ly from May 2025 and will then be man­da­to­ry for all ITscope users. As soon as the time comes, you will recei­ve an email with ins­truc­tions on how to set up authen­ti­ca­ti­on in just a few steps.
