how about trust your staff.



Maybe, "empower your staff as they each prove competence", instead?


Unfortunely many prove that they aren't worthy of such trust and open the company to liability issues, data loss, lawsuits and other security issues.


Domain Admin for everyone!

Trust is always contextualized. I trust my mom to watch my kids but not to remove my appendix. The purpose of technical controls and security policy is to wall off areas where employee capabilities or motivations are too uneven or complex to safely expose them without a risk of loss that's incompatible with the appetite of the business.


What could possibly go wrong?
