# How to resolve Sprinto check for restricting public access from GCP cloud storage buckets

Sprinto check: Ensure That Cloud Storage Bucket Is Not Anonymously or Publicly Accessible\
The following Sprinto check gets activated when any of your cloud storage buckets that you classified as "Production" on your Sprinto account have open public access.
