Hi Richard, 
this is a very common situation. You have several technical options to deal
with it as stated by other answers. From my knowledge, many defence or
police agencies use QGIS in the world. As it is totally open and fully
customizable, you can make your own install package and user profile
policies to adress all those concerns
As far as I remember, it was proposed that the plugin installer could be
integrated with the auth manager [0] 
If your customer does not want to make its own package, it could be an optio
to sponsor that feature.
