How about the fact that my last two projects gave been Government work, my previous one required a security clearance and my new one requires the next security clearance up?

It's not just sales figures companies are worried about. Most companies hold personal (and personnel), confidential (and in some cases restricted and secret) data, and exposing that - however accidentally - can be a criminal offence. Any breach of security not only looks bad (and puts the next contract at risk), but can leave the company badly exposed.

Also it's not just data exposure. I stopped visiting the board at work because some idiot had managed to let a virus into the network. It only took us two weeks of continuous effort to clear our part of the system out (physically checking each PC, cleaning it if infected, making sure the AV software was up-to-date and working). These things take a lot of time and effort to clear up afterwards.

The only reason we managed to clear our part of the system so quickly was that we were on a spur from the main network, and as soon as the infection was noticed we cut the link. We also had several tecchies on site (our entire team) and could deal with the problem directly.
