digital nomad looking for security for my communication.

[kilor]

As a digital nomad, I'm on the go pretty much all the time. I have acquired a powerful laptop, latest iPhone and several world sim cards - the question is what should I do to make sure no one accesses my data when I am sitting on the beach, in a cafe or other public places?

Any input is appreciated

You always want to use an VPN - other things I can't imagine you will need!

What do you mean by access your data?

I recommend setting up encryption on your iPhone if that's supported, and veracrypt/bitlocker on your laptop and putting it to the proper sleep/hibernation mode when you go away from your machine for starters. You should also have a TPM on the laptop. Also, Windows 10 Enterprise with proper group policy settings or if you're running Linux, then the settings for that OS.

You should give a bit more detail on what you are trying to avoid so that I can give you more specific advice. But this should somewhat help you.

You should look into Whonix and here is more detailed way to use whonix and VPN Connecting to Tor before a VPN

It's best to ask your customers what security measures they expect from you. In the worst case, you will have to have your laptop certified by a security company...

First of all don't take your laptop outside your apartment. And I would suggest getting a tamper-proof laptop such as NitroPad.
