It is common practice in many work places for employers to monitor employee usage of company computer systems, whether it be for security reasons or simply to enforce acceptable usage policies. The most well known approach to this is the use of monitoring software installed on company systems, but I would be interested to know if there are any hardware based methods to monitor activity, and to what extent they are able to operate.
For context, I work in the technology industry in a role which often requires remote working using a company issued laptop. My role also requires frequent use of external boot media (that is, using an operating system that is not the Windows installation provided on the laptop by the company). I wish to emphasise that I have a great deal of respect for my employer and have no desire or need to circumvent their policies - I can simply use my own equipment for anything non-work related. Discussions with my manager and colleagues raised this question as it seems our current workflow makes company policies impossible to enforce, which realistically speaking, we should find a way to address.
I appreciate this is a more technical question and might be better suited to another StackExchange site, so please feel free to recommend a migration if you feel it is warranted.

Hi new user. Ah are you literally asking the technical question, "how to monitor multi-boot situations?"

You know what, that's a much more concise summary of the question, perhaps I should change the title... Specifically, it is multi-boot where the company cannot control all boot media, so that is probably important.
