Individual DoD sites, commands, or contracts often implement stricter rules beyond department-wide policies, especially for software with known vulnerabilities like 7-Zip's past issues (e.g., CVE-2023-31102). If it wasn't on your local approved list or failed a risk assessment, that could explain the restriction. Details on your role/system might clarify.
