JRGaim asked:
My company is shifting their data security emphasis to monitor 3rd parties. For example: we’re constantly sending data to a firm that processes our finances and performs basic accounting/reporting. How do we ensure these 3rd parties aren’t mishandling our data? How do we know if Joe Shmoe isn’t copying our files, losing/replicating our tapes, or distributing our sensitive information? I’m looking for technologies, software, questionnaires, or some methodology that provides a meaningful assessment or metric that indicates how secure our data is once it leaves our network.
Duce’s response is more inline with what I’m looking for. We’ve already established contracts with these 3rd parties that prevent them from mishandling our data, but nothing is full-proof. Our business wouldn’t exist if our data was in the wrong hands, so we’re not satisfied with just a legal contract that says “we’ll sue you if you f-up”. We’ve got the encryption down, we have reliable means of sending data, but nothing that helps us assess a 3rd party’s handling of our data. Any tracking mechanisms? Software-related quality assurance, maybe? Tools that provide metrics that give an indication as to how responsible/reliable another company’s infrastructure is?

a cashiers check? I wanted to pay them online using my Visa card but their payment page isn’t secure. I contacted them about that and they said I can send them a cashiers check.

Nelly asked:
I have this game called NBA 2k8 for the ps3, and it will only allow me to send challenges to people if I have my firewall turned off. At the same time, I’m thinking that a virus might enter my computer if I have it off.
I have this game called NBA 2k8 for the ps3, and it will only allow me to send challenges to people if I have my firewall turned off. At the same time, I’m thinking that a virus might enter my computer if I have it off.
Can I still be secure if I have my firewall turned off?

asked:
If an item on ebay is on auction and the seller offers a buy-it-now for dealing outside of ebay by just sending a bank transfer, so the seller avoids having to pay ebay costs. How secure is that?

Yamal asked:
The $600,000 ransom sent to Somalia to secure the release of Australian photojournalist Nigel Brennan and his Canadian companion came entirely from Australia, according to businessman **** Smith.
Mr Brennan’s family sold homes and cars in frantic efforts to raise the ransom money, but the family of Canadian freelance writer Amanda Lindhout had difficulty coming up with their half.

Andrien asked:
I am buying a car, I have made sure that they are a legitimate dealership (which they are)…
They have good feedback for selling and havent found not ONE “car never recieved” complaint…
My issue is …
What is the safest way for me to send payment to them?
I know wiring the money is NOT a good idea…
What would guarantee me the car title as well as a guarantee of delivery?
