Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is now live in MerusCase allowing firms to proactively strengthen firm’s cyber security. MFA is an authentication method that requires users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to MerusCase. This additional layer of security ensures all of your confidential case and client information is kept secured and protected from third parties while reducing the possibility of a breach. 

Administrators in MerusCase can now choose to enable MFA for all users in their firm, or only select users. Once MFA is enabled for a user, they will be immediately logged out and required to set up MFA for their individual accounts. Let’s explore how it works. 

Using our new Special Handling Comments, your firm can ensure that important information is always relayed to your staff and will never be missed again. 

Administrators in MerusCase can now add Special Handling Comments to cases. These comments can be whatever you’d like; for example, you may want to communicate to your staff that a certain party on the case should only be contacted at certain times. Or you may want to communicate the desired way to bill for the case. 

Once the Special Handling Comments are added, an alert will appear on the screen every time any user clicks into that case. The alert will contain the notes added by the administrator. The Special Handling Comments improve communication across departments and ensure that all users at your firm see essential information.
