Remotely Wipe and Lock Devices from Josys

What do you think happens when an employee leaves and their laptop is still sitting on a desk across the country, untouched and full of sensitive company data? For too many IT teams, this is a weekly reality. 

‍

Offboarding is often clunky, slow, and full of cracks that put company data at risk. Josys’ Remote Wipe and Lock Device feature is designed to close those cracks for good.

‍

The IT Offboarding Problem

Traditional offboarding depends heavily on people, checklists, and timing. When someone exits, IT must track their device, confirm it has been returned, then manually wipe or reset it. If the device is remote, that means waiting for shipping or relying on non-technical staff to follow instructions. The process is inefficient and risky.

‍

According to a report by Capterra, 71 percent of companies say that employees frequently fail to return their devices. That creates a critical gap in data protection. On top of that, another report revealed that 48 percent of businesses have experienced cases where former employees retained access to corporate systems. Even more concerning, 20 percent reported resulting data breaches. These are not just stats. There are real-world consequences of offboarding that are too manual and too slow.

How the Remote Wipe and Lock Feature Works

Josys gives you total control from one dashboard. Integrated with MDMs like Microsoft Intune and Jamf, the Remote Wipe feature lets IT reset a device back to factory settings—no need to touch it or wait for it to come back. Once you trigger it, the device is wiped automatically, wherever it is.

‍

Remote Lock offers a temporary safeguard. If a device hasn’t been returned yet, you can lock it with one click. This blocks access until it’s in your hands again.

Key Customer Benefits

‍

Faster Offboarding

Forget delays. You don’t need to wait for the hardware. The moment someone leaves, IT can act. This cuts down offboarding time and helps your team stay focused, even when multiple exits are happening at once.

‍

Improved Security

Wipe or lock devices immediately. Even if the laptop is still in someone’s home office, your data is protected. This kind of instant response prevents data leaks before they even start.

‍

Reduced Risk of Human Error

Manual processes get forgotten. Emails get missed. Devices slip through the cracks. With Josys, everything happens through automation. Less guessing. Fewer mistakes.

‍

What Makes It Different

Unlike many add-ons, this feature is fully integrated into the Josys platform. You don’t need to learn another tool or jump between systems. It also integrates with your existing MDM solution, so you keep the setup you already have.

‍

Whether you’re working in a very regulated environment or just want to move fast and stay clean, Josys fits both styles. It’s flexible and ready to scale with your workflow.

Looking Ahead

Remote Wipe and Lock is just the first phase of a fully automated offboarding vision. Coming soon, this feature will integrate directly with Josys’ workflow engine. That means even more automation, fewer steps, and full control from exit to recovery.
