Outside of a few cases, it's always been a box checking exercise. If you're fortunate, the boxes are kept up to date / written by somebody that knows what they're doing. If you're like most, the box hasn't changed since the 90s when "complex passwords, changed quarterly" was in vogue.

Companies always prioritize features/capabilities up until shit starts hitting the fan, but even then the culture and requirements makes everything just a job of trying to patch a sinking ship if you're lucky.
