Amen to this! Why would someone who charges for services risk their livelihood to steal data. Unless they weren't trust worthy in the first place. IE some fly by night contractor or organization. It all comes down to doing your homework and building relationships with the people you trust to do these things. Like another person said in a previous post do you not trust your doctor with your personal information, dentist etc.. It's just silly unless your worried because you hired the contractor without vetting them and your worried.

Why should you trust you network administrator? Why because you are a competent manager who fully vetted the organization who will be responsible for such sensitive data right? If you hired some Joe Shmoe site unseen with no references and qualifications that cannot be verified then I would be worried. If you put the time and effort in to find the right outsourcing organization or single contractor who is fully qualified and respected in the local industry you have nothing to worry about. I am not saying there arenâ(TM)t immoral contractors out there but the likelihood that a well respected organization or a well respected contractor would steal data or maliciously destroy something would be remote. They would not want to risk ruining there good name which would take food off of their table. It comes down to building relationships. You have to know and trust this company/individual.
