macbook pro dialog "the installation of big sur has been restricted until we have tested it with our applications"

Whenever I click on update, my macbook starts to download files and then it displays this dialog:



MacOS Catalina is installed.


What is causing this and what do I need to do in order to install updates?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

I click on the Software Update button that displays when I click on the Apple->About this Mac.


In the button below I click on Upgrade Now


Then the dialog I posted above appears. I'm checking with someone at my workplace to see if they have restricted updates. Another colleague who updated her macbook pro didn't run into this issue.
