Varian Associates, Inc.:

"I want to express my thanks to you and to Pro-Tec Data for your professional assistance in improving Varian's protection of confidential and sensitive information. Specifically, I appreciated your flexibility in developing a cost effective, overall company strategy that could be implemented through programs tailored to the individual needs of our businesses.

The measure of success of these programs has been the businesses' adherence to and continuing use of the policies and practices you developed for them. I believe that this is due in significant part to your close working relationship with the business managers, your follow through, and the excellent materials you distributed as "tools" the managers could understand and apply. Indeed, I already have several 'war stories' concerning incidents where the tools and techniques from the programs proved most useful in practice.

Your commitment to excellence, your planning and your persistence helped me achieve important goals and implement programs that will provide enduring value to Varian."
