How to Review Security Before Allowing File Uploads to a Business Portal

File uploads can introduce malware, oversized content, sensitive data, or unauthorized file sharing. A portal may accept documents without scanning or clear retention and access rules.

What to check

Review allowed file types and sizes, malware scanning, storage permissions, upload authentication, retention, download access, and audit records. Test whether uploaded files can be executed or accessed by other users.

Recommended next step

Use defense in depth: validate type and size, scan files, store them outside executable paths, and limit access by role. Define retention and incident handling for suspicious uploads.
