Hi

I dont know if this is the correct place to post this. I am doing some
work for a small company with around 80 pc's. They dont have any inhouse
IT staff and use an out side little computer dealer for all their work.
These guyse look after everything from the pc's to the servers to the
network. They obviously have all the admin passwords etc and if
somehting needs to be repaired they take it to their workshop where one
of the technicians will repair it. This It shop also does work for one
of the competitors as well as a few customers.

I know all the security risks but short of hiring someone in house what
else could be done to ensure they Information Security.

Thanks
Jonathan
