I recently was asked (by a client) " What are some of the indicators
that would lead you to question the adequacy of an organizations IT
Security structure (i.e. in terms of protecting its network and
limiting access to sensitive databases)?"

This is a more complex question than the client realized. However, I
agreed to provide an answer.

Before I do so, I would appreciate any positive suggestions on what
should be addressed in the answer (I will also provide them with some
'indicators of an adequate security infrastructure'.

Any helpful suggestions are appreciated.
