Most companies deploy management software on their mobile devices. They have the ability to monitor activity and do things like remote wipe the device if you're fired. On iPhone go to settings->general->vpn and device management to see if anything's there.
Thanks for pointing me to this setting. There are two profiles, one is my personal VPN, which I use for device-wide ad-blocking (AdGuard Pro), another one is the MDM management profile. The latter one consists of a list of managed Microsoft apps (e.g. Outlook, OneDrive, Teams, etc.) and various (device) certificates. I guess nothing to be concerned about.
