IPhone – way to test the iPhone for any potential rogue apps

Is there is a way I can test my iPhone for any potential rogue apps that someone may have installed on it? I have been working on some nondisclosure type work lately, and it appears that information is being leaked. I am concerned that something has been installed without my knowledge, and I just waant to make sure of things.
