Access and backups under control, beyond one person's knowledge
LCS organises domains, websites, CRM, email, 2FA, staff permissions and backups. You receive an access map, clear ownership and a recovery plan.
Especially useful after staff or contractor changes, website migration, CRM setup, or when one person holds all passwords.
What we organise
Access and backups are the foundation of IT resilience.
Without clear ownership of critical accounts or a recovery method, any website, CRM or server becomes a risk.
Staff permissions
Review excess permissions, former staff, shared accounts, 2FA and access granting/revocation procedures.
- onboarding/offboarding
- 2FA and roles
- Shared accounts
Backups
Establish backup scope, storage, freshness and recovery ownership.
- Website, database, files
- Backup frequency
- Storage oversight
Recovery plan
A simple action sequence for losing websites, accounts, databases or service access.
- Failure scenarios
- Owners
- First actions
Contractor handover
Help take over websites, domains, servers, CRM or advertising after a contractor change without losing control.
- Handover checklist
- Permission changes
- Ownership verification
Secure storage
Set up secret and access storage so passwords do not go to random chats.
- Credential vault
- Transfer rules
- Minimal secret collection
Risks / organisation
One lost account can cost more than a year of steady support.
When access is missing
- The domain is registered to a former employee or contractor.
- The only backup is on the same server that may fail.
- A former employee still has administrator permissions.
- No one knows how to recover the website or database.
When things are organised
- Critical systems have an owner and backup contact.
- Staff permissions are granted and revoked through clear procedures.
- Backups are stored separately and recovery is tested.
- The manager has a system map and action plan.

04
Procedure
Document access granting, permission revocation and failure recovery.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about access and backups.
Can we start without sharing passwords?
Yes. Map systems, owners and risks first without sharing secrets. Access is needed only for specific checks and is transferred securely.
What if the domain is registered to an employee?
Check current rights, prepare ownership transfer to the business or responsible owner and establish backup access.
Is the hosting provider's backup enough?
Not always. Know what is copied, how often, where it is stored, retention periods and whether recovery can meet your deadline.
Is this part of IT support?
Yes. Access and backup management underpin external IT teams, risk audits and ongoing support.
