--          Many organizations need multi-factor authentication for enterprise software, including internal
--          knowledge bases, intranets, documentation platforms and systems containing operational procedures
--          or sensitive business information.
++          Two-factor authentication is especially relevant when XWiki contains internal documentation, procedures,
++          customer information, project knowledge, administrative pages, or business-critical content.
          </p>
          <p>
--          For organizations using XWiki, adding two-factor authentication directly to the standard login flow
--          can help close a practical access-control gap. It can be useful for administrator accounts, remote users,
--          private knowledge bases and broader security readiness initiatives such as NIS 2 preparation.
++          It can also support organizations that need MFA as part of their cybersecurity controls, including companies
++          working toward NIS 2 readiness. NIS 2 focuses on stronger cybersecurity risk management across essential and
++          important entities in the EU, and MFA is often expected as part of enterprise access protection programs.

--          This extension is not a complete compliance solution on its own, but it can provide an important

++          It is also useful when many users access the wiki remotely, when administrator accounts need stronger protection,
++          or when the organization wants to reduce the risk of compromised passwords.
