Small Business IT Cleanup Assessment
A practical review of your accounts, devices, software, documentation, passwords, and basic security setup so you know what needs attention first.
What the assessment reviews
The assessment focuses on the areas that usually create the most confusion, risk, and wasted time for small businesses and nonprofits.
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
Review basic account settings, licensing, shared files, security controls, and common configuration gaps.
Onboarding and offboarding
Review how employees are set up, how access is removed, how devices are returned, and how files are transferred.
Device inventory
Review whether laptops, phones, tablets, serial numbers, assigned users, and return status are being tracked.
Software and vendors
Review subscriptions, renewals, support contacts, vendor ownership, license waste, and software that may no longer be needed.
Passwords and MFA
Review password practices, shared passwords, password manager needs, Multi-Factor Authentication, and basic security habits.
What you receive
The goal is not to overwhelm you with technical language. The goal is to give you a clear picture of what needs to be fixed and where to start.
Current-state overview
A plain-language summary of what was reviewed and what your current IT setup looks like.
Cleanup checklist
A practical list of recommended cleanup items, organized by what should be handled first.
Access and documentation gaps
Notes about unclear access, missing documentation, stale accounts, shared passwords, device tracking gaps, or software concerns.
Practical action plan
A simple next-step plan you can use internally or request help implementing through J3 Systems Group.
Who this is for
This is built for organizations that need practical IT cleanup before a small issue becomes a bigger operational problem.
Small business owners
You know the business needs better IT organization, but you do not want to start with a complicated enterprise project.
Office and operations managers
You are responsible for employee changes, software, vendors, files, devices, or support requests and need a cleaner process.
Nonprofits and lean teams
You need clear IT support, but you may not have full-time internal IT staff to keep everything documented and reviewed.
Example problems this can find
These are the kinds of issues that small businesses often miss until someone leaves, a device goes missing, or a system stops working.
Access problems
- Former employees still have access.
- Administrator accounts are not documented.
- Shared passwords are being passed around informally.
- Multi-Factor Authentication is not consistently used.
Operational problems
- Devices are assigned but not tracked.
- Software renewals are scattered across inboxes.
- Support contacts and vendors are unclear.
- There is no repeatable onboarding or offboarding process.
How the process works
The assessment is designed to be simple, practical, and easy to understand.

Is this a full cybersecurity audit?
