Which is true but has far less than little or nothing to do with
corporate legal talking heads in their alternate reality of legal pads,
secretaries, stone knives, and bear skins.  They convince the C levels
that some legal blue smoke mumbo jumbo means something legalish that
will cover some of their asses and they all tell IT to make it so.  You
make it so, even if it's legally and technically meaningless, or it's
your ass on the firing line, not theirs.  You (in IT) are not an
"authority" (in both senses of the word - even if you do happen to know
more than them) but are merely a minion who must obey those on high.
It's done not for any technical or legal reason.  It's done because your
PHB told you to do it.  End of story.

Regards,
Mike
