During the employee off-boarding process at a BYOD-friendly company, the security team must ensure that corporate email, VPN certificates, and managed business apps are removed from departing users' iOS and Android handsets, while the users' personal photos, contacts, and non-managed apps remain in place. Which Mobile Device Management (MDM) remote action should the team initiate to meet this requirement?
The requirement is to remove only enterprise resources that the MDM originally provisioned-mail profiles, security certificates, managed applications, and any associated containerized data-without touching user-owned content. This is exactly what a selective wipe (also called an enterprise or corporate wipe) does: it unenrolls the device, deletes managed data, and leaves personal data intact. A full factory reset would erase all content, violating the policy. Geofence lock only restricts access based on location and does not delete data. A remote lock with a PIN change secures the device but likewise leaves both corporate and personal data untouched, failing to satisfy the "remove corporate data" portion of the policy.
