That seems to mean either that the restriction is only in policy or that there is no clear method of enforcing the restriction through automated controls.
 
If it’s only in policy, then it also implies that there is no effective monitoring and that there are no visible consequences of violating policy. It implies that any policy violation might have no consequence, even ones not related to IT.
 
If it’s because automated controls aren’t feasible, it implies that systems are dangerously vulnerable to outside, unauthorized access.
