What comes to mind is to put the read-only functionality you want in a specific 
program, and then give sudo access to certain people *only* to that program. As 
long as (a big assumption!) that program only does what it's meant to, and 
doesn't have any ways of braking out into a shell, those people should only be 
able to have root powers as far as the functionality of the program allows them.

Hum... Tripwire?

Where I work, the security teams are further broken down into specific 
functionality (antivirus management, access management, network security, 
etc.). But yes, it's common for people who need it (for example, antivirus 
management) to have administrative rights on most machines.
