IMHO the real security issue is with the oracle client install. Sorry if the following is too obvious... You need to be certain that the DBA utilities are never installed and that the sqlnet config can't be changed so as to avoid system probing. And everyone has changed all default passwords, right? ;-) Then the remaining issue would be account administration...what your password controls are...(length, content, expiration, sharing of accounts...).
