Ok - here's the basic security you should aim for if you want to be pretty secure.
Ensure they sign a non-disclosure agreement (in blood would be good).
The machines they access your network with should be owned by you and have no floppy or CDROM drives. All USB ports should be disabled in BIOS which should itself be password protected. Possibly disable serial and parallel ports as well.
Machines should not be in a general physical area in your office where they might overhear office conversations.
Guests should not be allowed bring mobile phones anywhere near the computers, esp. camera phones.
All printing they need should be done to a printer under your control. The printout should be scanned by someone trusted in your office and should not be removed from the office.
Accounts should be created for each of the folks coming in. Enable them before they get there and disable when they leave.
Ensure your security is locked down tight and they can only access what you allow them access to. Use DENY ALL as a start and then open things up. Possibly look to have their location firewalled off?
That's a start!
