Access to company cloud is by multi-level authentication.
Cost of a 'chromebook' is $200 or less.
These devices obviously will not operate unless connected to the cloud usually by encrypted VPN to the Internet.
There are times where it is not permitted to keep data in a "cloud" & if the individual is forced to handover their passwords, it doesn't matter where its kept. The key concept is that the individual keeps their confidential date in their possession at all times, but can only access it after it is unlocked by another party.
