What breaks when someone is missing
Securing access, accounts and backups
Who can get in where, and what happens if you lose your phone tomorrow.
Objectives
- List the business's access rights: accounts, tools, banks, domains, equipment
- Set up secure access sharing that survives an absence
- Check that a backup can be restored, not merely that it exists
- Write the loss procedure: phone, computer, person
Programme
- Morning: The inventory of keys: What is always uncovered: accounts in the name of a former employee, a domain held by a service provider who has left · Personal accounts and company accounts: the confusion that costs the most · The shared password manager, in practice
- Afternoon: Backup and loss: A backup that has never been restored is not a backup: a test during the session · The multiple-copy rule, applied to a small organisation and its budget · Drafting your loss procedure, on one page
Prerequisites
None. Bring the list of tools you use.
What you take away
The inventory of your access rights and your loss procedure, in writing.
