They often do. The value of those kinds of blanket security audits is questionable, however.

(This is one of the reasons I'm generally pro-OSS for digital infrastructure: security quickly becomes a compliance game at the scale of government, meaning that it's more about diligently completing checklists and demonstrating that diligence than about critically evaluating a component's security. OSS doesn't make software secure, but it does make it easier for the interested public to catch things before they become crises.)
