Re:Little/no reward

On: Are Background Checks Necessary For IT Workers?

Your IS/IT people are less likely to do Bad Things(tm) since there is little or no reward in it for them. You give someone root privileges, they see everything. CAD drawings of prototype products, R&D papers, client lists, trade secrets, you name it. I can imagine an unscrupulous sysadmin turning a profit with the help of an equally unscrupulous contact at a competitor.
