There's no legal exemption for auditors that I know of. This is completely up to the management in your own organization. Can you not ask for an exemption? IT shouldn't be driving/controlling/enforcing security policies anyway. This is a business issue that management needs to be involved in as well.

Here are some of my deeper thoughts on security policies. Also, check out this piece I wrote about how to get management on your side. Don't forget to bring up some of the points I make in this piece regarding balancing security and business needs.

Good luck!
