INTU, I usually had the Imperial Navy being the prime institution of the Imperium. Having said that the Imperial mainframes would be backed to hilt with all sorts of electronic countermeasures that would be been designed to tharwth any virus, including Virus. However, the protocals for activation were not always known hence the ability to keep the secret alive. Usually, these things were in organic respositories (actually brains of individuals ~ kinda like RNA memory implants but more sophisticated) these would be passed down from generation to generation.
However, most individuals do not know that they are carrying a code until they grab hold of a command wand or similarly access their deep memory. And, even then these couriers were only having partial access, as only a Flag Admiral or greater rank could provide the decoder.
Thus, many of the great secrets of the 3i when down with the 3I only to be brought to life at a later time and place...
