Even if I did allow it, I'm going to treble your costs with a penetration test, a massive security review, and another couple of layers of technology to minimise the chance of even theoretical attacks succeeding. I.T Architect: That's not our standard. Yes, I realise this is so new it isn't on our architectural roadmap, but in the interests of architectural purity, I can't allow it till I've tire kicked for at least a few months.

It’s never been done before "It's never been done before" is a refrain one often hears in financial services. There are also significant variations on the theme, such as "we are fast followers", or "where are your references and case studies?".
