Your boss/company is responsible for your actions , if they have not put enough controls that is their problem.

For example there is personal phone/messaging app use in finance industry resulting in fines that is doing the news rounds now.

if you are communicating finance industry information outside the work devices provided and your company is not put enough controls and disciplined staff etc , they are liable for it .

I won’t argue they’re not accountable, but are you not yourself also responsible? If you knowingly commit fraud, “my boss didn’t stop me” is an unconvincing defense.
