Oh my.. You sound really unprepared for what you are getting into. There is no such thing as perfect security. And if someone sold you on that premise, you were tricked.

Even if your host is doing the absolute best job possible, your group can still screw it up any one of a million ways. Given the cavalier attitude here, that's going to be happening soon and happening often.

Honestly you sound like a total heat score..
