Never let something so flimsy as a locked door to the computer room stand in the way of an auditor on the warpath

Re: sometimes its too secure

Not necessarily an insidejob. I worked at a charity, set up their computers, set up a back-up system, etc. Thieves broke in, stole all the PCs. I was called in to help as a volunteer. I told them to buy new PCs, get better security on the windows. But at least they had back-ups, and I'd help with that.

Well, no, of course they didn't have back-ups.

And about six weeks later the new PCs were all stolen because they hadn't put better locks on the windows.

Sometimes people are just that stupid.
