When a device goes missing, speed matters and mistakes are costly. ITOps360 packages the response into one approved action.

What it does, in one action

  • Disable the owner’s sign-in, so the account cannot be used.
  • Rotate and escrow the BitLocker key, so the old key is useless and the new one is safely held.
  • Remote-lock and locate Intune-managed devices.
  • Queue a wipe for the device’s next check-in.

Governed and reversible

The whole response runs under approval and audit, and it is reversible on recovery: if the device turns up, you can restore sign-in and cancel the queued wipe. Every step is in the audit trail.

Run it

From the device view or a ticket, choose Lost or stolen, confirm the scope, and submit for approval. The actions that apply depend on how the device is managed (Intune or agent).
