Not allow my phone to be unlocked by fingerprint/face. 2.) Not carry USB sticks or similar portable storage devices on my person, to only transport them by courier. 3.) Not unlock my computer for anyone, including the police, unless directed to by our compliance office. Or it's breach of contract and they can reclaim part of my compensation. I don't work on anything exciting, just Big medical data.

Yikes, I hope you are well paid! (Re: 1 and 3. 2 is table stakes in this day and age. In fact re: 2, would you be willing to share a scenario that calls for sneakernet by courier vs a network storage/transfer?)
