[quote=Anonymous]Story to illustrate not only what a company can see, but the extent to what they see:

I work in financial services, we obviously deal with SSN and there are many, many, MANY processes in place around security and how to work with client SSN.
Last summer I re-fi'ed my house. I came in early, and scanned the documents my mortgage broker needed, to a PDF and sent it off, encrypted to my broker, via my work email - I purposefully used my work email address because the encryption is better than my gmail account.

About two weeks later, I got an email from corp IT asking why I was sending SSN in PDFS (which are generally unsearchable with standard PDF programs). I explained it was my SSN, why I used the systems on my own time, and they were fine. No harm/no foul. But again, they were able to pull a single SSN off 40 pages of scanned docs.

This is why I don't use my computer for anything I don't want my boss/company to see what I'm doing, nor do I use the corporate Wi-Fi. As crazy as it gets, I'll read WaPo at lunch. We've recently gone to a BYOD policy, and I bought a second iPhone I didn't link to my cloud. Policy says that the company will only wipe the App if something happens to your phone, but prove to me there's no additional monitoring, especially when access to the App explicitly gives them permission to do so.
