Can anyone "guarantee invulnerability"?
I used to work at ACS in Dallas and the security there was better than
in most of the data centers that they were outsourcing. Outsourcers do
not work on "very low profit margins", they operate on economies of
scale. They can run multiple companies processing for less money than
it would take each of those companies to operate independently. At
least that is the business model that they use.

I think it vanishingly unlikely that any commercial operation -
especially in outsourcing,
where the gross margins are already very low - would be able to
afford the kind of security
measures needed to guarantee invulnerability from the kind of
fanatics who could engineer
9/11.
It should be on the checklist of anyone considering business critical
outsourcing.
Hear, hear!
