>> Your government has to ask you for permission to access the server

Not true. The government will send orders to the ISP you are reselling for OP and neither you nor your customer will know until the disk drives have been seized.

I would also want you and your staff to be PCI DSS compliant (pass background checks).

Seizing disks is different from snooping without your knowledge. This also requires a higher level of legal justification.

Passing background checks for my employees and me is a valid requirement and one that I will implement. However, not to be facetious or anything, but Edward Snowden probably had a background check done.

Thanks for the comments.
