You need a security policy with risk assessment and threat analysis.
Then you have something to bargain with -- i.e., when security
practices and business requirements clash, it is a basis to get
together and decide on changes, either in security policy or business
practices. 

What's the threat? What are you protecting? What is the risk of
unrestricted outgoing ftp, etc.?

Fred
