Likewise a charm spell to convince the head of security to turn the system off is often easier than one that will cause it to fail - if nothing else one person is a much smaller area of effect than a secured building.
The social route is frequently the safest one. Of course, it can be impossible if most people in building are Indomitable or are Mr. I-resist-influence-skills-like-PCs
