Entire finance departments can work from home, my company is 100% remote, its a fintech company that handles and processes sensitive stuff all day.
Never impeded by regulation or data safety concerns, in fact, I think this company has better security practices than others I've worked for in the past to be quite honest.
There is an illusion that security requires an office. Most of it comes down to 'can you trust X person' vs any locality stuff.
We do have UK employees which I realize is decidedly not the EU though. We also have quite a few Canadian employees
I'm unaware of any meaningful difference in practice when it comes to the work stream though.
That said, I'm no lawyer nor an expert on the differences between the US (where I reside) and the rest of the world, in terms of specific data laws and handling procedures
