We definitely need auditors. Not to make our life difficult but to ensure that at least, to a certain standard, certain needed requirements are met. And some (probably) mind-boggling and tedious regulations are practiced (at least at the eleventh hour before the auditors come to check) to produce better outcome than suppose without it.
The dilemma of IT workers needing auditors is probably somewhat relevant to the question of why students need exams -- to capture our understanding and ensure that we do our job;)
Security (btw, someone should really define the term "secure" here, since I don't think any company can offer full security to their clients) in online businesses aren't always measured by the size of the corporation. Big or small, the 'security experts' in said companies must be smart enough to ensure that their system behaves predictably in accordance to their defined purpose (and do nothing else, of course) under any condition at all times. Any company successfully implementing that are the ones to become "trusted" companies offering "trusted" services to their clients.
And that's no easy task considering the fact that security will forever be an on-going issue and until I'm old and wrinkled we'll still be hearing of vulnerabilities and what not. .

I don't think that's necessarily true.
