What BCT includes for Project File Security for AEC Firms

File locations and ownership

Map where active and archived project files live, which systems own them, and who is responsible for access, backup, retention, and recovery.

Access control

Review employees, contractors, vendors, guests, shared links, external sharing, admin access, jobsite users, and former staff.

Microsoft 365 and cloud sharing

Review SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Entra ID groups, permissions, sharing settings, and external collaboration patterns that affect project files.

Backup and recovery

Confirm what is backed up, how often it is checked, whether restore tests are documented, and who owns recovery decisions during an outage.

Endpoint and ransomware exposure

Review which devices sync or store project files, how they are protected, and what happens if a laptop, workstation, or shared folder is compromised.

Evidence rhythm

Create a repeatable review for access exports, backup status, restore tests, project-folder exceptions, vendor access, and remediation tasks.

Why AEC firms with drawings, models, PDFs, specs, and project records choose Business Computer Technicians

Generic cybersecurity pages can miss how AEC firms actually work. A project deadline can lead to temporary shares, copied folders, vendor access, local device storage, and exceptions that never get reviewed again. Those exceptions can become security, continuity, and compliance-readiness risks.

Project-file security should be practical. The firm needs a map of data locations, a cleanup list, owner assignments, and a way to keep evidence current.
