Just get the laptop, use it for work only. This is the best way forward.
They are looking for their interests (minimize security breaches) and that's a perfectly understandable position and solution to the problem. In this day and age the risk from a breach is much larger than in the past.
Since they are willing to provide the necessary equipment for that then there is no issue from your end.
- alserio 5y agoSince when a backdoor is useful to minimize security breaches?

For this purpose, an SOC 2 auditor needs to evaluate various aspects of a company's systems and processes """ So it is about security. I guess your point is that it is just a security theatre and not related to the real thing - but that is a different discussion. It would be a discussion about https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/ and https://www.amazon.com/Moral-Mazes-World-Corporate-Managers/dp/0199729883 https://www.amazon.com/Moral-Mazes-World-Corporate-Managers/... and etc
