You can disable automatic iCloud syncing on your iPad by disabling the iCloud service, or by disabling syncing for individual data types.

You can turn off syncing over wireless networks for the iPad, or you can disable automatic syncing with iTunes for all devices.

Disable ICloud Syncing

  1. Tap the “Settings” icon on the iPad Home screen to launch the Settings app.

  2. Tap “iCloud” to open the iCloud applications list. To disable all applications from syncing with iCloud, slide the “iCloud” toggle switch to the “OFF” position. Or, you can disable individual application from syncing, if desired.

  3. Slide the toggle to the “OFF” position for each application, to disable it in the iCloud applications list.

Apparently, you have signed into iCloud on both your devices using the same Apple ID. Devices setup with the same Apple ID sync a lot of user data between them for built-in apps by default.

If you concerned about keeping company and personal data segregated, it is recommended to use different Apple ID for your iPad and iPhone (personal Apple ID for iPad and a separate one for iPhone).

Alternatively, if you have reasons to use the same Apple ID, you can selectively choose which data to sync. On your iPad/iPhone, go to Settings app → Tap on your name and picture shown on the top (Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store) → iCloud and under Apps Using iCloud section, turn-off the switch in front of all the apps for which you do not wish to sync data.
