Ironically work I dabble in the security automation space and I'd say this is the real "social ill" of all regulatory cultures. It is not the automation that's important is sharing and reusing agreed upon understanding of requirements and best practices (what and why we automate and the real goals not just cargo culting or copying). Most unintentionally hoard and others (auditors, special consultants) intentionally do with the belief this is their market differentiator. This is good but still falls short by not sharing and dropping hints. This is the default I see most of the time.

Most higher level attempts to meaningfully share and reduce toil and wasted effort are not incentivized in risk/governance/oversight culture, so we all get to lose.
