depending on what the company does, different levels of security are appropriate. but, yeah, I would avoid taking valuable data with me on a flight to shady countries (the US being among the top 10 of that list)

You can't have policies for everything.

Their main problem is using SaaS for something as basic and important as version control. Than you have to deal with silly US laws.
