Why this matters
Small businesses can have good tools but weak processes. If password sharing, employee exits, vendor access, or file approvals are unclear, risk can still build.
Use this resource when
- Your business has grown but processes have not caught up.
- Employees are unsure who approves access.
- Files and passwords are shared informally.
- You want to reduce risk without overcomplicating operations.
What to review
- How new employees receive access.
- How access is removed when employees leave.
- How passwords and shared accounts are handled.
- Who approves administrator access.
- Where important files are stored.
- How vendors and software are tracked.
