    learned that they had a system with local admin attached to the corporate network that somehow IT didn’t know about. They were using that to host their repos.

    That’s called shadow IT and is a huge security risk.

      We do know about stuff like this… we just decide to turn a blind eye about it since we know who is using it and why they’re using it.

      But if things get out of hand and we notice weird things happening, then yes, we will act on it and will “know about it”.
