OXFORD ROOTS / MICHIGAN SERVICE
A practical security plan starts with the accounts, devices and information your team depends on. DeyTech helps small businesses understand gaps, prioritize work and connect everyday protections with backup and recovery planning.
Schedule a free consultationA LOCAL STARTING POINT
From our Oxford base, DeyTech supports Michigan organizations, including businesses in Oakland County, Lapeer County and Southeast Michigan. A small team may have inherited equipment, several vendors and no single security owner. The starting point is understanding those responsibilities, not assuming a particular product will address every risk.
SET THE FIRST PRIORITIES
Security tasks compete with everyday business work. Put the most important systems and uncertain responsibilities on the table so the next steps can be ordered around your actual exposure and operations.
Identify email, administrator, remote access and important application accounts. Review multi-factor authentication, account recovery, shared sign-ins and staff onboarding or departures. Clarify who owns administrative access and how access is removed when it is no longer needed.
Inventory the workstations and other supported devices, then review protection, update status and local administrator rights. A protection tool needs someone responsible for its alerts and maintenance. Discuss unsupported equipment and business applications before scheduling changes.
Identify essential files and systems, backup locations, access permissions and who reviews failures. Agree which work needs to resume first after a disruption. A documented restore check can reveal missing dependencies that a backup-job notification does not explain.
MICROSOFT 365 AND EMAIL
Email and shared documents connect your staff to customers, vendors and outside collaborators. A useful Microsoft 365 review considers normal work alongside administrative settings.
Review active users, shared mailboxes, privileged roles and the arrangements for former employees. Examine account protection and relevant email settings within the tools and licensing available. Changes should be checked against legitimate workflows before they are rolled out.
Understand which teams use shared resources, how external sharing is authorized and who owns permission decisions. Separate routine collaboration from access that no longer has a business purpose. Plan changes with staff so people can still find and use the information they need.
MAKE THE PLAN OPERABLE
A prioritized review should lead to understandable actions, named responsibilities and follow-up decisions. It should also make clear what has not yet been assessed.
Review gateways, remote access and separation of staff, guest and camera devices where appropriate. Identify which changes belong to your internet provider, software vendor or another support partner. Keep network documentation and administrative ownership within the agreed scope.
Separate immediate access cleanup from maintenance, replacement equipment and longer-term improvements. Discuss cost, operational impact and dependencies before work begins. No individual control eliminates every risk; the plan should be reviewed as staff, tools and business needs change.
HOW WE WORK
The scope is agreed before work begins, with responsibilities and next steps made clear.
Discuss the systems you rely on, existing support and the reason for the review. Share concerns and symptoms without sending credentials or sensitive records.
Agree authorized access and the areas to examine. Identify gaps, dependencies and responsibilities, then choose practical next steps with your team.
Apply agreed changes, check affected workflows and document ownership. Include ongoing maintenance and recovery checks where they form part of the engagement.
