Yes and no. Keep in mind that security is one of the many skills a sysadmin must have. Not everyone can or has made it a priority. So auditable tasks become a minimal baseline for those that need it. Once that's done, however, you've met the absolute bare bones "keep your job" minimum. Then you start pulling in ideas from security experts, using tools like Puppet, nmap, nessus, and continuous improvement to harden your area.
