Always cover your arse!
1. No matter what the situation always send an email to someone at client co outlining the situation.
eg: Hi CEO, for the record, today I have just started using laptop asset number 666 and noticed it is full of nude photos of squirrels.
2. Keep a manual diary of all events.
eg: Notified HR of photos of nude squirrels on the laptop

I don't deny that. I pointed out a scenario where is common.
I think the blinkers are closer to home. You are suggesting that client's are paranoid because they may not allow contractors to use their own equipment.
There are many reasons why they may not allow it. Security is one of them. Intellectual Property control is another. Consistency of build if in a developer role is another.
Paranoia is not one that I believe is common. It is a 'blinkered' view to suggest otherwise.
Any client, with a view to security, will not allow you to do this, unless you have one of their builds installed (and that's rare anyway).
Your repeated assertion that "no company would allow that" makes me feel like I'm a pilot being lectured by a flat-earther, and makes you look like a fool.

Originally posted by ladymuck View PostCurrent client is fine about BYOD, they have a separate WiFi network for such things.

I can see that changing seeing as facilities are encouraging WFH because the car park gets too full. Never mind that the building is never full, mind you...
I hear the parking's a nightmare.
