There is just too much data a modern server has to get on a timely basis
from the internet to be isolated from contacting the internet. Serving
the internet may be a different matter.
- The IBM PTF service is one.
- Any number of web services is another. For example, a service which
constantly gets commodity prices from your broker might be used in
extremely frequent updates, if not on a transaction basis. (We used to
sell wire and the price was based on the commodity price of copper rod.)

I'll warrant to say there is much customer data on numerous "clients"
around your business. Down to that spreadsheet on someone's laptop. The
one with the most data is the one most likely to access the internet. This
last argument is too logical and will be lost on the security people.
Stick to the first paragraph and document individual needs.
