The 3 Biggest Cloud Security Gaps Jacksonville Businesses Miss

Most business owners assume the cloud is automatically secure. After all, Microsoft and Google invest billions in protecting their platforms, right?

That part is true. But here’s the catch: the weakest link is usually how accounts are set up and managed locally. And when we run cloud security reviews for Jacksonville businesses, the same three gaps come up again and again.

1. Old Accounts Still Active

Former employees often keep access to company email, files, or apps long after they leave. It’s an easy oversight, but it’s also a major liability. All it takes is one old account with weak credentials to become a hacker’s entry point.

2. Overly Broad File Sharing

We see files and folders shared with “anyone with the link” far too often. That means sensitive documents can float around outside your company with no control. Employees share this way for convenience, but it leaves the business exposed.

3. Weak or Inconsistent Login Security

If some employees use MFA (multi-factor authentication) and others don’t, you don’t really have protection. A single compromised password can still unlock everything. Consistency matters, and skipping this step leaves businesses vulnerable.

The Fix Is Simpler Than You Think

These aren’t exotic, “Hollywood hacker” problems. They’re everyday issues that can be fixed with the right policies, reviews, and cleanup.

When Jacksonville businesses partner with us for cloud security, we audit accounts, tighten file access, and enforce stronger login protections, so you don’t have to worry about what’s slipping through the cracks.

Big breaches don’t always start with sophisticated attacks. They often start with simple oversights. Closing these three gaps is one of the easiest ways to reduce your risk today.
