This is brilliant, Jo!

It brings to mind my repeated experiences with institutions failing to meet even the compliance floor, most significantly as briefly documented here:

My next employers were a major university followed by an IT research & consultancy firm, each of who were similarly compliance-challenged.

Finally joining a municipal workforce in which my direct supervisor (the CIO), and our Finance counterparts, understood the public trust with which we were duty-bound to uphold was life-changing. Trust requires trust.

Sadly, sometimes even bare compliance would be an improvement 🤬
