Depends what you mean by the "security process".

You'll need to copy the database (mdb) file, and the appropriate
workgroup (mdw) file, and a suitable shortcut (using the /wrkgrp
switch), to each PC. And each PC must, of course, have a working copy
of a suitable version of Microsoft Access.

There are other products that let you write an installation program to
wrap up all those activities & perform them automagically. You might
use those products if, for example, you had to install the database on
more PCs than you could handle manually.
