I so do wish that iOS had multiple workspaces for applications for just this reason.

  I still wouldn’t be a big enough sucker to trust that.

    I trust Apple to build sandboxes correctly. If the vendor’s sandbox is hermetic, then it shouldn’t matter what the corpware does within it.

  Isn’t it simpler just to tell your employer to give you a separate phone for work purposes if needed?

    Currently yes, it is. This is terrible for the environment though when it is entirely possible to emulate a “work phone” in software. Plus, why do I want to physically carry two phones?

Years ago a employer asked I install some monitoring software that also allowed access to work resources on my personal phone. I politely, and clearly declined. I told them I’d be happy to use a device they provided for work but beyond that it was my personal phone and I wasn’t going to blur the boundaries of personal property / information and work resources, or risk muddying the legal waters if for reason a legal issue came up. They politely informed me they wouldn’t provide a device, but also understood my reasons and I wasn’t required to install the software. Good outcome IMO.

I'm sure this will go over swimmingly. In recent years, Credit Suisse was embroiled in a corporate espionage scandal, with two cases of intrusive surveillance by the bank against departing senior employees. (From TFA.)

There is a joke that no financial scandal is proper without the involvement of Credit Suisse. Seems they also want a pie of those privacy and security scandals.

  Scandal doesn't really fit here in my opinion. I think it is a highly criminal organization. Scandal somehow fails to explain the significant criminal energy which certainly is not restricted to some of their customers.
