Security Review Services

Business Process Security Review for Small Businesses

J3 Systems Group LLC helps small businesses and nonprofits find security risks inside everyday workflows, including employee access, file sharing, shared passwords, approval processes, documentation gaps, onboarding, offboarding, and cloud system administration.

Security problems often start with unclear processes

A business process security review looks at how people actually use technology during normal work. Many small businesses do not have a single major technical failure. Instead, risk builds up through unclear approvals, shared accounts, old employee access, messy cloud drives, undocumented vendor access, and systems that no one fully owns.

This service helps identify those weak points and turn them into practical cleanup steps that are easy for owners, managers, and staff to understand.

What this review covers

Access approvals

Review how employees request access, who approves it, and whether permissions match actual job duties.

Shared passwords

Identify shared passwords, shared accounts, weak handoff processes, and places where individual accounts should be used.

Former employee access

Review whether former employees still have access to email, cloud files, business systems, vendor portals, or shared devices.

File sharing risks

Review shared folders, external sharing, public links, shared drives, and unclear permissions in cloud storage.

Workflow documentation

Identify missing standard operating procedures, unclear support steps, and business processes that depend on one person.

Cloud admin cleanup

Review Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace settings, admin roles, user accounts, groups, and basic security controls.

Common risks this review can uncover

  • Employees have more access than their job requires.
  • Former employees still have active accounts.
  • Important files are shared with personal accounts.
  • Shared passwords are being used instead of individual accounts.
  • No one knows who approves access requests.
  • Vendor accounts are active but not documented.
  • Managers do not know where key business documents are stored.
  • Cloud folders are disorganized or open to the wrong people.
  • Onboarding and offboarding steps are inconsistent.
  • Security responsibilities are not clearly assigned.

This is not a complicated audit

The goal is to create a practical cleanup path. J3 Systems Group focuses on clear findings, plain-language recommendations, and steps that a small business can actually act on.
