It's not any different just untenable. IT departments tend to block all threat-vectors, with the exception of excel macros as even the most basic user use macros in their day to day job. A better diffentiating factor would be who developed the macro. If it's built in house by someone merely using it to make their lives easier it's doubtful they inserted malicious code. I guess ideally IT should review the code.
