lol, yes, this is exactly one - IT security is not only about hard- and software; the human factor is quite important in this field.
Other things that come to my mind in this particular case are company policies, regarding data storage, data protection and data access, also important are the data security laws of the countries where the company resides and of those where the servers are located.
