                        Not IT specific (Louis Pasteur was credited with this quote in 1854) but absolutely applies...

                                PEBCAK

                                Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard

                                See Also: PEBKAC -- Problem Exists between Keyboard and Chair

                                Otherwise it is pronounced with an "S" sound.

                                The letter "c" followed by the letters "a", "o", or "u" is typically pronounced as a "hard" c (sounds like "k") such as in the word car, Carolina, curve, course...etc. To make the "c" sound like an "s" when it is followed by the letters "a", "o", or "u", you would typically need a cedilla under the "c". Rare exceptions to this are the common "facade" which was derived from the French word "façade" where the cedilla was eventually removed and pronunciation unchanged.

                                As with other English rules, this is generally the rule that applies most often, and since this isn't a typical word (acronym really), I believe the general rules would apply. So you could use PEBCAK 🙂

                                    Strict hierarchy is a socially acceptable way of stating "intentionally suppressing exposure".

                                            I got it from Steve Gibson, but he was quoting someone else, and I wasn't fast enough to write down who he got it from.

                                            I agree, sounds very much like something you'd say @scottalanmiller.
