Well, technically it was behind a secret passage, so that was probably intended to be enough to guard it.
Also, even though Cloud and Zack were kept in the lab... that was after Sephiroth went crazy. I think Hojo had kept most of the lab a secret in previous years, but was unable to keep it a secret after a mass of ShinRa employees were sent there in order to rebuild the town.
Like I said earlier, if ShinRa had known all the secrets of Hojo's lab, they probably would've recovered Vincent, who was one of their best Turks and have tried to recruit him as an even more dangerous agent.

It's a really small point, but it's also a really good one. Nice job, Ery.
I think, like most who have posted here, that Hojo probably didn't let anyone else know about it. Also, I think it was guarded well by the secret lock (and the boss that follows...Lost Numbers, right?) so it wasn't like Hojo expected anyone to get through that. It shows that he didn't expect Sephiroth, of all people, to find it.
I think it's another example of how ShinRa (namely Hojo) underestimated Sephiroth. ShinRa as a whole snubbed their nose at the people, and Hojo especially. Despite the fact that Cloud and his crew managed to get to Hojo himself, all Hojo had to say was that Cloud was a "Failed experiment"! They took everyone too lightly, and completely underestimated Sephiroth.

Um, it's a game. Anything is possible for the sake of advancing the plot and story.
I honestly don't think whether Hojo expected or not expected for Sephiroth to find the passage matters at all. It's a game...players will find secrets along the way, so I don't see why characters can't do the same. (Finding secrets.) We were never really given any explanation as to why or how Sephiroth suddenly came across those secrets. It simply was just there...and he found it. Why? To thicken the plot.
Lol, there's really nothing more to it than that, in my opinion...

In accordance with what Mistuki thinks, I say that he certainly got there by falling through a plot hole. Silly Sephiroth, ought to watch his step.
