So it's a really dumb idea.
The only way to guarantee a higher risk tag for you is to use the TOR network to work from abroad. Which is slightly more dumb.
Even more dumb, would be to give you login details to Bob Shawaddiwaddi in Bangalore and pay him 10% of your day rate to do the job.
All those suggestions are in the same ball park. All represent a potential contract breach. All have been done with some successes and some failures.See You Next TuesdayComment

Originally posted by ConsultingTechArchitect View PostOne of my clients also had this nonsense rule about not working from abroad, the role was a digital transformation architect for an airline. I never even had access to customer data, my access was literally test data and test systems only at that point. They also had IT staff working for them in many other countries already.

You guys are polite.
We all know who doesn't bother having conversations with the cybersecurity and infrastructure guys.
I had a client who walked a contractor for doing what the ConsultingTechArchitect states even though the work wasn't on a secure project."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

If your role only involves accessing SaaS systems and Office 365, there's even less chance anyone will know you're not in the UK.

That's why you use a private VPN and not a provider with IP addresses listed publicly, you can also set this up yourself in AWS/GCP etc.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
