You could introduce auditing to the files/folders. If the files have been
accessed or permissions modified it will show up in the event log. And if
the logs have been deleted then you will know as well that they most likely
were trying to access the files. However if these people are just regular
users then they should not have administrative rights in the first place.
And if they are legitimate administrators they should be trustworthy enough
not to go poking around.
