Customer portals
Protect customer, member, patient, and student accounts while keeping the portal login and user store you already have.
No-code MFA
Add MFA to Existing Web Apps Without Code Changes
Protect customer portals, partner apps, and other existing web applications while keeping the login and user accounts you already have.
Datawiza adds an MFA challenge after your app validates the existing login. No IdP, AD, or LDAP integration required.
- No code changes
- No user migration
- No IdP required
Hosted by Datawiza: configure your app and MFA policy, then route traffic with a DNS update. Self-hosting is also available.

Existing login. An MFA challenge. Access to your app.
App coverage
Enforce MFA Where the Business Actually Needs It
MFA projects often stall because each app has a different login pattern, protocol, user population, and release process. Datawiza gives teams one control point for those mixed environments.
Partner, supplier, and vendor portals
Protect supplier, partner, vendor, and B2B portals even when every external user belongs to a different organization.
Internal web apps
Add gateway-enforced MFA to employee apps that were not built for SAML, OIDC, or modern SSO.
Legacy and custom apps
Modernize authentication for ERP, CRM, Java, PHP, .NET, and other custom systems without rewriting application code.
Architecture
Keep your login. Add MFA before protected access.
Datawiza Access Proxy sits between users and protected web apps. Your application continues to validate its existing username and password. After a successful login, Datawiza adds MFA before the user continues to protected content.
Built-in MFA keeps customer and partner accounts in the application. Users enroll in a second factor without moving their passwords into an IdP or directory.
- 1
Use the existing login
Customers and partners enter their current credentials. Your application validates them against its existing user store.
- 2
Complete MFA
After successful primary sign-in, Datawiza prompts the user to enroll in or complete the configured second factor.
- 3
Continue to the app
Once MFA succeeds, the user continues to protected content with the application permissions they already have.

Why teams choose this path
Faster MFA rollout without app rewrites
- No application source-code changes
- No user or password migration
- No identity provider required
- No AD or LDAP dependency
- Existing application login stays in place
- Hosted rollout with a DNS update
Deployment
Configure, route, and pilot your MFA rollout
Use the hosted service for a DNS-based rollout, or run Datawiza in your own environment. Start with one app and validate its login and access requirements.
- Step 1
Configure one app
Review your login and session flow. Configure the application hostname, upstream connection, TLS, MFA methods, and access policies.
- Step 2
Route traffic through Datawiza
For hosted deployment, update DNS to route app traffic through Datawiza. Restrict direct access to the app so users cannot bypass MFA.
- Step 3
Pilot the user experience
Test enrollment, sign-in, protected routes, logout, and recovery with a small group before expanding enforcement.
- Step 4
Expand the rollout
Review access logs and support procedures, then extend MFA to more users and applications without migrating their passwords.
Capabilities
Roll Out Strong MFA Without Turning It Into an App Rewrite
No-code MFA enforcement
Add the MFA checkpoint through Datawiza Access Proxy without adding an MFA SDK or changing application source code.
No identity provider required
Users sign in with their current application credentials, then complete built-in MFA. No separate IdP, AD, or LDAP integration is required.
Fast rollout
Roll out in phases by app, audience, path, or policy instead of rebuilding login flows app by app.
Keep your existing users
Keep accounts in the existing application user store. Add MFA enrollment without moving users to a new identity platform.
Audit-ready visibility
Capture sign-in, policy, MFA, and access events for security review, compliance evidence, and troubleshooting.
Lower project cost
Reduce custom MFA coding, connector work, regression testing, and long-term maintenance across application teams.
MFA methods
Use Built-in MFA or Your Existing Identity Provider
Datawiza can provide the MFA service directly, or enforce MFA through Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Ping, Cisco Duo, and other IdPs already used by your organization. The protected app does not need to implement either path itself.
- SMS and email OTP
- Authenticator app one-time passcodes, including TOTP from common mobile authenticator apps
- FIDO2 authenticators that support WebAuthn, including security keys and biometrics
- Phishing-resistant PKI Certificate-Based Authentication, including PIV smart cards
Common goals
Why Teams Modernize MFA With Datawiza
Meet MFA requirements for compliance, audit, and cyber insurance
Add step-up authentication to high-risk customer and partner portals
Add MFA to internal apps that do not support modern SSO
Reduce credential-based attack risk without rebuilding application login
FAQ
Multi-Factor Authentication Questions
Can Datawiza Access Proxy add MFA if the app does not support MFA?
Yes. Datawiza Access Proxy can sit in front of a web application and require MFA before access continues, so the app itself does not need native MFA support.
Do we need to migrate users or replace our login?
No. Users keep their existing application accounts and passwords. The app validates the login, then Datawiza requires MFA before protected access. Users enroll an MFA method, but their application accounts do not move to a new user store.
Do we need an identity provider, AD, or LDAP?
No. Datawiza built-in MFA works with the application's existing login without requiring a separate identity provider or an AD or LDAP integration. If you already use an IdP, Datawiza can integrate with it when useful.
How does the hosted DNS rollout work?
For hosted deployment, configure the app connection, hostname, TLS, and MFA policies, then update DNS so app traffic passes through Datawiza. Restrict direct access to the app's origin so protected routes cannot bypass MFA. Pilot login, enrollment, recovery, and logout before rollout. Self-hosting in your own environment is also available.
Which MFA methods can we use?
Datawiza Access Proxy provides built-in MFA methods such as OTP, authenticator app codes, WebAuthn/FIDO2, and certificate-based authentication. You can also connect an existing identity provider when that is useful, but it is not required.
Can we roll out MFA app by app?
Datawiza is designed for phased rollout. Teams commonly start with one high-risk app, validate policy, then expand to other customer, B2B, employee, or legacy apps.
Can this help with compliance requirements?
Yes. Datawiza can help with MFA controls for compliance programs such as SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NYDFS, NIS2, NIST, cyber insurance, and internal security policies.
Do we need to replace our identity provider?
No. For this use case, Datawiza Access Proxy can enforce MFA in front of existing applications without an IdP migration. If you already use an identity provider, Datawiza can integrate with it, but a separate IdP rollout is not required.
Is No-Code MFA a separate Datawiza product?
No-Code MFA is a use case of Datawiza Access Proxy. The same Access Proxy platform can also help with SSO, header-based app integration, access policy, and app modernization.
How is Datawiza different from CIAM?
Datawiza adds MFA to existing web applications while keeping their login and user store. CIAM platforms cover broader customer identity needs such as registration, login, and user lifecycle management. Choose the approach that fits whether you need MFA for an existing app or a wider identity project.
What is a no-code MFA gateway?
A no-code MFA gateway adds an MFA checkpoint in front of protected application content without an MFA SDK or source-code changes. With Datawiza built-in MFA, the existing app validates the user's login first, then Datawiza requires the additional factor before protected access.
