- For devices that are lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised, Intune MDM provides the following options:

- Selective Wipe: Removes only corporate data while leaving personal data intact, suitable for personal devices enrolled in the MDM.
- Lost Mode Activation: Allows for enhanced tracking and management of supported business devices.
