Common risks

Common Risks We Find

These are examples of practical issues a business-focused review may identify. The goal is to make risk visible before it disrupts operations.

Weak MFA Setup

Multi-factor authentication may be missing, inconsistently applied, or not required for high-value accounts.

Exposed Admin Panels

Administrative access points may be easy to find, poorly restricted, or protected only by passwords.

Email Spoofing Risk

Email authentication may not be configured strongly enough to reduce impersonation and fraudulent messages.

Over-Permissioned Staff Accounts

Staff or vendor accounts may have more access than needed for their role or current responsibilities.

Cloud File Exposure

Shared folders or documents may be accessible to more people than intended, including external parties.

Unused or Forgotten Accounts

Old staff, vendor, or test accounts can remain active after they are no longer needed.

Poor Backup Visibility

Backups may exist, but ownership, access, testing, and recovery expectations may be unclear.

Missing Incident Process

Teams may not have a clear process for reporting suspicious activity and making early response decisions.
