Two-factor authentication

Agencies can now use their email as a secondary validation source for two-factor authentication. We recently spoke to agencies with Drupal 7 websites about two-factor authentication. We found 65 per cent of customers were aware of two-factor authentication. Customers appreciated the opportunity to find out more. When we engage with agencies with Drupal 8 websites in the coming weeks we aim to ensure they also have the information to implement two-factor authentication to protect their websites. More information about two-factor authentication.

Memorandum of Understanding for provision of GovCMS services (MOU)

We will be contacting you this month to re-sign your updated MOU. MOUs have been updated to reflect the IRAP assessment of the GovCMS Platform (Unclassified to Official: Sensitive). We are also refining roles and responsibilities.

If you have any questions regarding the MOU changes, please Contact Us.

Quarterly Reviews of websites subscription

We will review website usage plans on a quarterly basis. This will enable us to be more proactive in ensuring you are on the appropriate subscription level. If your agency is at risk of exceeding your current plan, a member of the GovCMS team will contact you. More information about pricing plans.
