Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure a device passcode policy.
(Configure a device passcode policy) is correct because requiring a passcode protects data on lost or stolen devices by preventing unauthorized access. Option E (Enable remote wipe on the device) is correct because remote wipe can erase all data on a lost or stolen iOS device, ensuring corporate data is not compromised. Option A is incorrect because device inventory reporting is a management feature, not a protective action. Option C is incorrect because selective wipe (retire) removes corporate data but does not protect the device itself. Option D is incorrect because retiring the device removes management but does not immediately protect data.
