Policy, policy, policy, as in your company's.

Satisfy that .. or decide one needs to be written and approved.

Then .. a get out of jail card .. written .. by supervisor on up if need be with details - names, tools, - maybe a time period .. a report, etc.

What's the group's consensus on allowing security staff to scan the company's external interfaces from their home, to get a
