Microsoft Access is a powerful tool for managing business operations, but without the right security measures, your data could be at risk. From unauthorized access to accidental data loss, securing your MS Access database is essential—especially when dealing with sensitive or financial information.
Add user-specific login screens that control access based on role or permission.
Keep data in a secure backend database and provide users only the frontend interface.
Use built-in encryption or third-party tools to protect data at rest.
Prevent unauthorized users from viewing or altering tables and queries.
Reduce risks from inactive sessions or shared access by implementing timed logouts.
For companies with multiple users accessing the same MS Access system, it's critical to establish layered security. We implement custom login forms, password hashing, and permission control for each role — from admin to read-only users.
Track who edited what and when with a complete audit log. This feature not only supports internal accountability but also helps meet compliance requirements in industries like healthcare and finance.
Many Access systems link to Excel files or external folders. We ensure these paths are protected with user-specific access or stored in secure directories with permissions managed at the Windows level.
Leaving backend data on a shared network without restrictions
Using a single shared login for all users
Not disabling design mode in production systems
Storing passwords or confidential info in plain text
