It depends. Where I live, this usually doesn't seem to be an issue for some reason. I guess IT administrators don't really know how powerful a screen reader is. Just to give you an idea, it would be trivial for anyone with basic Python experience to weaponize NVDA into a key logger and a screen scraping spyware, without admin rights, and no antivirus would complain.

In the US, this seems to be much more of a concern, so JAWS is often a requirement in big corp / government.
