If you want to allow data to be secured without allowing the administrator
from seeing it, you're talking about encryption. The Encrypting File System -
EFS - is provided with Windows 2000 and later.
Unfortunately, EFS has to be administered by someone, and that sort of brings
the administrator back into the picture. There has to be a recovery agent in
order to make EFS safe, and the assignment of that agent - who will hold a
backup key to the EFS data - is usually to a system administrator, so that
backups will be correctly made of your data.
Remember - any solution that is solely in the hands of your CEO is solely in
the hands of your CEO, and they have to administer it, or designate someone
who is trusted to administer it.
So, once again, it rolls around to having to have an administrator.
If you can not trust your administrators, then you need to fire them, or make
them not be administrators any more.
Alun.
