He earwigs and thinks it's ok to go shopping. She does the right thing by reporting it and gets the sack. He deserved the divorce and the resulting charges from the SEC. Utter breach of trust.Comment

In situations like this it is the employee/contractor’s responsibility to ensure that their communication is secure.
The employer will set standards, including password complexity and the use of headsets when making calls.
The employer will also have things like NDAs which will also mention things like making sure so one else can eavesdrop on a call.
And they will also make sure that their definition of insider trading includes close friends and family.
If someone is stupid enough to make all calls on a speakerphone, it’s the equivalent of leaving their computer unlocked.
I suspect the employee realised that if she didn’t speak up, she could have faced criminal proceedings if her husband was caught.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

SEC.gov | SEC Charges Husband of Energy Company Manager with Insider Trading
So, it's possible that the husband just got the gist of the conversation by listening to her half of it.
I agree with your general point about the company writing a code of conduct. In security terms, this would be an administrative (management) control rather than a technical or physical control.Comment

Nothing the company can really do. If a husband wants access to his wife's work PC, he will get it while she is sleeping, and get the 2FA from the phone. How many men dont know their wifes phone pin? Maybe you dont know your wifes work login password but that can discovered with a bit determination as wellComment
