Designing exceptions that developers won't route around

Every dependency security program needs a way to handle packages that have a valid business reason to stay in use despite a CVE or license issue. Ideal exception processes give developers full context upfront, including safer alternatives, then route real requests to a security team that weighs the risk profile and logs who requested it, who approved it, and for how long. Get the friction wrong in either direction and the process fails: too much and developers route around it, too little and it becomes the default path.
