Exactly, the process should be in place and 'just' work. Apart from the security aspect, there's the licensing and billing issue as well that tends to add to the red tape. Working in hosting pretty much eliminated a lot of that because of FOSS usage (margins, you know). It's not easy to work in an enterprise environment again (with it's lack of FOSS).
