I’m sorry, what?

Have you never worked for a bank or financial company? Never had to take a drug test for your programming job?

US Federal law and the Hundreds of billions of dollars spent on audit, insider trading, cyber security, ex filtration tools STRONGLY point to a corporate culture that is obsessed with defending against internal threats, because that’s the highest source of risk.
