Note that the actual quote from the intelligence officer is quite a bit more nuanced (directly translated from the current version of the original article):

"I don't think any board of directors of a large organization should be meeting on business secrets with a smartphone or iPad on the table," says [the officer].

(The original: "Ik denk dat geen raad van bestuur van een grote organisatie meer moet vergaderen over bedrijfsgeheimen met de smartphone of iPad op tafel", aldus Swillens.)

Interesting how in Dutch it uses assertive "I think that no council of directors of a large organization more(?) must gather over [whatever this word means] with the smartphone or iPad on table", instead of negative "I don't think..." in English.

Technically it's "none"

You can also say "Ik denk niet dat...". But using "geen" adds emphasis

bedrijfsgeheimen are trade secrets
