As of August 15, 2022: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is required to access the DDSP.

MFA is a separate third-party application “add on” managed by the end-user. Your organization may already have an MFA application they prefer to use, or you may need to download an MFA application to use specifically for the DDSP.

The Joint Commission can offer limited guidance on the three MFA applications listed below.

  1. Google Authenticator for Android and iOS

  2. Microsoft Authenticator for Android and iOS

  3. Authy for Desktop, Android, and iOS

However, please note: Whichever MFA add-on an organization elects to use is at their discretion and should be installed and supported by their own internal IT support. Joint Commission is not able to provide individual/site specific IT support on this topic.
