The Silent Saboteur - How Misconfigured Permissions Invite Data Breaches

Take a moment to picture this scene.

It’s a Tuesday morning at a thriving small business, the phones are buzzing, emails are flying, and the team is deep in the trenches doing what they do best. Amid the hum of activity, an eager new employee tries to find a marketing presentation. One harmless click later, they’ve stumbled upon folders brimming with sensitive HR files, salaries, performance reviews, and even personal medical information.

No hacking. No sophisticated cyber-espionage. Just a simple oversight into who had access to what, and now a quiet embarrassment has the potential to become a legal liability and a trust issue overnight.

If this sounds improbable, we assure you: it is not. In fact, it’s one of the most frequent and preventable ways small businesses find themselves blindsided by data breaches.
