Centercode *is* good, and they stress confidentiality in their process, but I can see that RIM is more concerned about confidentiality (paranoid?) than most of the clients that Centercode deals with.
RIM's attorneys / risk managment / compliance folks may also feel that they have more clout in threatening consequences when they control access to beta versions. Considering that they have about the most unhacked OS in the mobile market right now, and enjoy a great reputation in that regard among CIO's and government clients, that may be especially important to them, and may even justify their seeming paranoia...
