I'd be inclined to agree, though whether the demand for such services is as
high as the "need" is a different story. Too many businesses here are
effectively run by accountants, who generally see no need for independent
security audits...... after all...... "isn't it the sysadmin's job to make
sure everything is configured correctly" ?

Having recently worked in a high profile accountancy firm here in Dublin,
I'm inclined to think that ANY business where IT spending is entirely at the
discretion of accountants, will suffer badly from lack of equipment &
facilities

Ruairi, with a chip on my shoulder ;)
