Reviewing privacy settings and permissions for apps and online services
Some apps and online services will request information from devices for use. Reviewing privacy settings and permission levels prevents data being shared unintentionally.
Why is it important?
By reporting a device as missing, security teams can take necessary precautions to mitigate harm. Devices can be remotely wiped and accounts can be blocked.
If a device isn't reported as lost or stolen, the potential impact of the situation is greater.
