You said exactly that.

Again, maybe your IT team is garbage, I don’t really care to litigate your issue with them. I specifically said IT should accommodate requests when possible and not be overzealous when saying no.

What you previously suggested is that is that stakeholders should give their demands to IT and that IT should figure out how to make it happen. Doesn’t sound like collaboration to me.

In my experience end users and management are very rarely aware of the requirements placed upon IT to ensure the security of company infrastructure when it comes passing audits, whether that’s for cyber insurance, or CMMC compliance or whatever else.

It’s plainly obvious that products don’t exist to sell without developers or engineers. But you can’t sell your product to customers if they require SOC and you don’t have it or if your entire infrastructure gets ransomwared.

I’ve had to tell very intelligent and hard working people that if I accommodated their request the government would no longer buy products from our company.

That's fair; I did make it sound pretty one-sided there.
