So even where our coders and admin are is extremely well surrounded with scary crime authority people! I'm always nice to everyone in the lift :) Adam, as an aside our office is the same building as the Police Integrity Commission.

We provide a web based point-of-sale system for hair and beauty salons so our audience are typically not very computer literate which makes it even trickier. I was interested to see how you handle this question. It turns out our answer is virtually identical to yours - in fact, we always use the example of one of our very first customers who's salon actually burnt down - if his data was sitting on a computer on the front counter instead of safely in a secure data centre... well, it's a convincing argument - even to our potential customers!

Agree, we have the mission impossible feel also but the guy with the gun is the most scary so I always mention him :) Thanks Don.

We take both system and physical data security at the highest level and yes, we do have not only armed security guards protecting our data in a mission-critical special facility, but we also have CCTV cameras, bio-hand readers and keypads protecting our clients' data 24x7. It costs us to do it that way but we would not be in this business if we did not take data security this seriously.
