"Security Protected"   ---  "We at least insist they set a Windows
password..."

"Strongly Security Protected"  ---  "... of at least five characters"

"Under conditions of high security" --- "... and someone checks that the
doors are locked"

"In a secure infrastructure" --- "... fence, and five-lever locks"

"We take security very seriously" --- "what passwords?"
