first things first : what is your security concern ? if they all share the same dhcp server then you could eaisily 
define scopes that will allow you to indentify the different hosts from the net.

for example you could do something like 

compony1 10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
compony2 10.0.1.1/255.255.255.0
compony3 10.0.2.1/255.255.255.0

that way all the hosts are on differnet subnets and they are more managable.

if you want to physically seperate the traffic from one another then the best solution would be seperate wires for all 
of them

dhcp on a external interface would allow people from the net to get a trusted address for your network greatly reducing 
the security of your internal lan
