Is the same thing also true for customers of financial institutions? Why are financial institutions so reluctant to give details about the locations of their data centers, processing offices, money transport routes and security procedures to their customers? Don't customers of financial institutions have the same concerns about the survivability of the financial institutions as the financial institutions have about their suppliers? Doesn't this just turn into Y2K all over again with every organization demanding guarantees and copies of data from every other organization?
