The business people are application domain experts. They are good at
spotting unusual patterns.

Thus, one way is using packages capable of dealing with site access
patterns. I had created packages like that for internal staff. When
the in-house domain experts saw the patterns, they quickly spotted
something unusual which helped uncovering the site's hidden problems.

However, I am not aware of off-the-shelf third-party packages capable 
of doing things like that.
