The day finally arrives and your assistant shows the consultant into your office where she quickly takes a seat, takes a speck of dust off her pants and looks you in the eye. “You’re really willing to do whatever I say?” she asks. You tell her that if she has a plan, you’ll follow it. You wait anxiously to hear what she’s going to say. The first thing you need to do, she tells you, is disconnect from the Internet. Before you can object, she holds up a hand and asks that you let her finish. You start to sweat, and she keeps going. You’ll need to take away all of the laptops. There will be no smartphones or tablets allowed in the building. You’ll use desktop computers without USB ports or DVD drives. There should be no way that you can save to an external device. Everything will be connected on a highly secure, completely private internal network accessible with two-factor authentication. You won’t use any cloud services and there will be absolutely no mobile apps. If you run a website, you will keep it simple and with very little information. Contact information will be through a form and you won’t have an address for the company beyond a post office box. You will hire highly skilled security personnel. Everyone will leave their phones at the door on the way into the building — including you. Everyone will be searched entering and leaving the building — including you. No exceptions. You will put cameras everywhere and you will have your security staff monitor them in a control room to make sure nobody is doing anything suspicious. Anyone caught with a prohibited device will be fired immediately. You will keep partnerships to a minimum, and all guests, including customers, will be subjected to the same strict security regimen, and no one will be allowed to carry any devices of any kind inside.
