Cisco Systems MaaS360 manual Application Distribution

•Reassign the device to a secured location group. This group effectively removes all corporate applications and data, provisions lock-down profiles—effectively rendering the device useless—and leaves the device under management such that forensic data is available in the event the enterprise would pursue legal options.

•Blacklist the device in ISE to prevent corporate access. Also issue an Enterprise Wipe command to the device to remove all corporate data. This also removes the MDM profile. The device will become unmanaged, lifting all operational restrictions on the device including the ability to locate the device.

•Blacklist the device in ISE to prevent corporate access. Also issue a Full Wipe to the device to remove all information and return it to the factory default configuration. The carrier will need to be involved to prevent the now factory fresh device from having a resale value.

The exact response an enterprise would take in the event of a stolen device should be public knowledge, especially where a Full Wipe is issued since the response could be an incentive to some criminals.
