This is where the problems come from. Auditors are definitely what ultimately causes IT departments to make dumb decisions.
For example, we got dinged on an audit because instead of using RSA4096, we used ed25519. I kid you not, their main complaint was there wasn't enough bits which meant it wasn't secure.
Auditors are snake oil salesman.
This is 100% it- the auditor is confirming the system is configured to a set of requirements, and those requirements are rarely in lockstep with actual best practices.
