Hi Zack,

What you could do is enable Integrated Windows Authentication and disable
Anonymous Access. Next thing you need to do is edit NTFS permissions on
website content (best to do it on the folder that holds your web data
files). Create a group for the users that need access to this site. Give
this group appropriate permissions (e.g. read). You will also want to grant
less restrictive permissions to the administrator and webmaster. Now if you
set this right your contractors should not see this site (they will be
prompted for username and password, but should not be able to get to the
content of the website).

Note, that if your contractors are members of domain, you can't use Domain
Users, Authenticated Users or Everyone groups for restrictions. They fall
under security context of this groups.

I hope this helps,

Mike
