Is it a vulnerability in a business or in a government service/dept?

Business. I cannot name them without exposing the vulnerability.
If you think that revealing the name of a business discloses the vulnerability, then I question whether you are using "vulnerability" in the standard way or that what you have found is a vulnerability as understood by the software community.

Unfortunately many people do this, thinking that a potential bad outcome of a business process is a "vulnerability" - perhaps they are using vulnerability in the non-technical sense, as in "we're vulnerable to supply chain disruptions".
