You need to work smart. Never had any personal data on workplace media-phones or laptop.
Heck...in some instances even for tricky business situations we were advised by legal to cut down on the written or at least be very cognizant of how what we might write would look to a third party.
This included the E&OE memos.

No way would I use my personal phone for work. I'm an android user and the defacto software for access to enterprise applications is VMware Boxer/Workspace One. The permissions ran to 7 pages, including accessing just about everything on the phone. Corporate IT says they only look at work related, but there is really no way to verify this. I carry a second android device that I only use for work. Assume no privacy on any of these devices.

yeah, I don't give work access to my personal devices. I do use company equipment on my home network, and I installed Steam on my work machine so I can check out games. I web surf from my work machine, that's where I'm posting this, but I'm definitely not going on racy reddits on this device. 
In the game industry it is pretty normal for us to work lots of hours and use our work machines for playing games, reading relevant web pages, etc. But I definitely don't use it for anything I'd be worried about our IT department seeing.

Nevertheless, people can be incredibly foolish. Two of my colleagues (one a senior-level atty and the other a legal assistant) got fired for violating the policy. The atty was viewing porn on his computer. The legal assistant was running an eBay business during office hours; she was even shipping her merchandise using the company's FedEx account!
At my megacorp, a guy was fired. Company did not disclose the reason, but the rumor on the grapevine said he visited porn sites while at work.
I believed it, because I once walked by his cubicle and caught a glimpse of him staring at a nude picture on his computer screen.
He had a PhD from MIT!
