I work for an ISO certified company, our company laptops have specific things for things like firewalls, allowed software, etc. Things for actual security. But no spyware, I don't feel like you need spyware to get ISO or SOC2, just sounds like a ruse to me for a company that lacks trust. Big red flag.
If it's your own personal laptop, then it's your property, they have no right to make you install something on it. If it's their laptop they've given you, then they do. And it's up to you whether you want to work in that way. But as I said, that would sound alarm bells for me.
- Stranger43 5y agoA lot of those things happens because nobody especially not the junior accountants and paralegals doing the compliance audit understand security making a lot of non tech savy companies buy into expensive tools(triggering the sunk cost fallacy) based on what the salesdrones told the CEO/CIO/CSO over lunch and the shadier the product the better the sales team tend to be at hoodwinking customers using scare tactics into adopting their special spyware source just in case. I would also personally be pushing back using every venue open to me on this kind of behaviour but's it is often more a sign of incompetence then malice.
