Blackberry Security Question - Help

Hey everyone (especially to you IT guys out there):

I was wondering if you all can give me an honest answer as to how safe my personal information is on my Blackberry:

On my BB 8830 (my phone-I bought it), it is currently on my own separate (personal) account with Verizon wireless. I just submit a T&E for it every month.

I run BES (BB Enterprise) mailbox that syncs with my Outlook messages on my company email folder. This also synchronizes my calendar, but not contacts (I instructed our IT department to not do that).

Question is:

I have personal BIS accounts (which I use for personal clients) through BB Internet Service (verizon's). Can my company's IT department read/access:

1. My BIS email accounts
2. My Blackberry Internet history, and sites I've visited
3. My call history, or even track my calls?
4. My contacts

I'm mainly concerned about client privilege - I maintain confidential client info on my personal BIS accounts. Is there a potential way my IT department can access those BIS emails, contacts, web pages, and the like ... merely because I have a BES (enterprise) link with the company?

If they can get to it, is there a way I can firewall my BIS email accounts from them? haha...
