If the company is blocking 443 then there is a reason, you've not
specified if this is an application that the company has asked for of it
it's something that a user inside the company, without the company's
permission, want to use.

Most firewall rules allow outbound 443 traffic to the net, but they filter
inbound 443.

If they are filtering outbound 443 traffic then only the firewall
administrator can unblock 443 for your site.
