Then you have never worked in a real organization.  IT is just another
wrench, HR's job is to tell you how to wield it.  Sure it makes sense
to mitigate a lot of the risk via technical measures but when all is
said and done, policy and the culture it represents is what keeps you
secure, not your technical measures (speaking of inside threats here
which is what skype is).
