How can I keep my corporate security department from wiping my devices with a service like good technology?

I want to run corporate stuff on my ios devices. Right now they use Good Technology. They may be adding microsoft OWA and Lync apps. They tell me they could wipe my device with Good (not that they would do that without my approval). I am not sure what their capabilities could be with Microsoft stuff. Can I keep them from doing this? Or is that controlled by the app and if I want their version of the app I have to say ok to the wipe? I don't think they want to go around wiping ios devices. I am more worried about random screw ups (Oops, we didn't mean to do that!) on their part. Where can I go to understand the security model for ios better?

Thanks.
