Since when was full disk encryption standard in windows 7 let alone windows
environments in general? Sure there are probably some but nonetheless

You didn't tell us how you cracked the full disc encryption. (There are
ways around controls, but that is why we have multiple security layers.)

You're new in the industry, aren't you? :)

The point you're missing is that the vast majority of computers aren't
covered
by said certifications and standards.  And most of the certifications are
merely a money grab by the auditors - the last numbers I found,
something like
98% of breaches of systems that were covered by PCI were of systems that
at
the time of the breach were PCI-compliant.  In  other words, being PCI
compliant
didn't actually slow the attackers down one bit.

You social engineer your way into the 5th office building you pass, pick
a
random PC on the 4th floor - I'll bet you that PC is probably *not*
running
sufficient monitoring to detect an intruder rebooting it and messing with
the system.
