You won't be able to do that and stay 100% secure - installing apps means
admin access, and admin access means being able to remove the barriers
you've set up to seperate the different companies!

Plus you REALLY don't want them installing stuff willynilly - they could
easily install bad software which buggers the box for the other companies
too; a box for which you/your company is responsible for!
