Talk to any financial institution or bank they will be super paranoid when it comes to security and auditing policies applied to their organizations. In a recent session to one of our customers, I had to enter their premises and I had to go through some screening. From the entrance, car parking, reception, elevators and everywhere there was someone asking us for some information. The more I think about it, the more frustrated I become. After returning home, I thought through the complete incident with my family. I was pleasantly surprised the calmness at which they were talking to me about an audit process.
