Every compliance review includes that moment when auditors request proof of administrative activity. Without centralized governance platforms, that evidence does not exist. IT leaders know this scenario well: explain to senior management why you can't prove what happened, or scramble for weeks trying to piece together evidence from scattered systems.

The challenge goes beyond PowerShell scripts. In practice, compliance pressure can either stall projects or drive better systems. The real question is: how do you design governance that helps your team move faster rather than hold it back?
