> Why doesn't legal have to fight the same fights? Legal constantly fights the same fights. They get those systems put in place because they acknowledge that fighting these fights is a critical aspect of their job and they make sure those control points are in place. Before I became an InfoSec PM I consulted for legal departments to fight those internal fights for them. They’ve had decades to refine and develop best practices around how to do these things. Also places where everything is blocked by default by legal are generally badly run legal departments and have plenty of handshake agreements and covert business activity going on the same way places with intransigent and uncooperative InfoSec or enterprise architecture ends up with tons of shadow IT. They’ve been moving towards automated review and self-service tools to speed things up for a while now.
