My current client has the same restriction on consultants, though I can take the code home on the laptop they provided. I don't think it's always about security, but often about the battle between employees and contractors.

Most of the time the excuse I hear has to do with security and that they can't have consultants working off site accessing the servers and code and what not. 2011/11/23 Cédric Beust ♔ <[email protected]> > > > On Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 5:50 PM, Ricky Clarkson > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> "Do you provide VPN access for when someone needs to do some work out >> of hours?" would be a good opening question on that. >> > > This is indeed the best way to ask the question.
