hi ya

one more thing ... to tighten the boat ...

if "data security" is an issue, all the process and
proceedures having been taken can be insured against
potential business loss, lawsuits, etc, etc ..
	a major security firm, used to have $100M liability
	policy against its security process/proceedures for
	their security services they provide to their clients
	( i dont know if they still maintain those policies )

if the data is lost/stolen, the insurance wont help you  ... 
the "secret" is gone and out in competitions paws ...

other kind of insurance you can get is errors and omissions insurance
for all engineers and performance/deliverables
	- liability insurance for the officers and board of directors

and on and on ..

- dont forget the janitor(?) simply walked out with the pc at Visa
  international ( laptops, pda, cell phones is todays equivalent )

- and shread all documents ... ( hasn't been mentioned yet ?? )
  or better still, get a fireplace in the building and burn it.. 

  poorly shreaded documents are easier to put together than a good 
  10,000 pc puzzle
