Or maybe incomplete understanding of the system. I had lobby for a year to get even a simple encrypted passwords. "Why do we need encrypted passwords behind a corporate firewall?" they asked. That sucked all the energy out of me. So when they wrote a script to run a db extract, get all company salary data in csv and share it with literally 50+ people I gave up. Getting them to even encrypt data seemed impossible.
