Enforce Remote Wipe Capability on Portable End-User Devices

Procedures have been established for the theft or loss of mobile devices.

The user may be required to e.g.:

• change network access codes
• report the situation to the IT department (and, if necessary, to the police or mobile access provider)
• change any other credentials that may have been compromised

The organizational process in the event of a device loss may include e.g. clearing the device (at least the contents of the organization) remotely.

The organization must enable remote wiping on all mobile devices it manages (e.g., phones, laptops, tablets).

Remote wiping can help protect your device and the data it contains in the event of loss or theft. However, remote wiping must be used with extreme caution.
