IT & Cloud
A plain-English IT checklist for a growing team
Small businesses do not need an enormous IT policy library to get the basics right. They do need consistent ownership.
Accounts and access
Use individual accounts, remove access promptly when roles change, and keep privileged access limited.
Files and collaboration
Decide where important documents live, who owns them and how they are shared.
Backups
Know which systems are backed up, how often, where copies are stored and how restoration would actually work.
Continuity
Write down what the team should do if a key system becomes unavailable. A one-page recovery plan is better than an unwritten assumption.
