@feoh This is an awful situation but just to clarify some thingsIt's not technically required to give the company that much power over your personal iOS devices. They could have asserted much less control and still been secure.I have worked for a financial institution where I brought my own iOS device. When I was offboarded, they could wipe only apps associated with the company. I had to reinstall my Gmail for personal use and re-login, but was otherwise fine.

@neilk @feoh This is the right way to do things. The bank's IT department will be liable for all of her extra expenses, and the Bank's HR department should be involved, as well as the bank's insurance company. No proper off-boarding procedure, which means that they cannot confirm that everything was done properly.If the banks IT department are screwing up like this, then where else are they failing to do their job. Report them, and act as whistleblowers to the insurance company.

@neilk @feoh You'll get the whistleblowers protections from the insurance company, as well as setting up the bank's IT department for a full audit.Add in a call to the regulator, as these actions mean that they will be acting out of compliance with the security reg's for their banking licence.Bonus points if you own any stocks in the bank, as that makes you a minority stockholder which adds in another set of legal protections.

@neilk @feoh It won't make up for the short-term annoyance, but rather than acting on your own, the simpler way to fight a bureaucracy, is to get another bureaucracy to fight on your behalf, just by doing their job. As long as you have a clear goal as to the resolution that you want, you'll be fine. Sorry about the hassle she had. Luck to you both. :D
