If it was really a worry, why outsource it in the first place?

Consider that the following should be done prior to hiring a outside IT consultant. If you are working with a local IT consultant ask for references with companies that maybe in the same situation as your company. Consider the length of years the consultant has been in business and ask for a senior engineer. A new IT consultant or company with on two or three employees is more likely to be less accessible. A company employee with seniority is less likely to want any issues witha client and is also more concerned with keeping the customer happy. My company always signs a confidentiality agreement with our customers. This protects the customer from not only data gathering but general network infrastructure and security information. If your information is that important and you could consider it worth the financial investment of a full time admin. I would have you consider the fact that even the full time admin could distribute your information if they were a un happy employee. Most local IT Consultants are more worried about keeping your network running and secure than stealing your information. Due diligence in finding the right consultant is your best bet. You may have to pay a higher rate for the better more experienced consultants but how much is that peace of mind worth to you?
