Explanation

Remote wipe and auto password lock together provide data loss prevention for misplaced smartphones. Auto password lock ensures that anyone who finds the device cannot immediately access its data without the correct PIN or password. Remote wipe allows IT administrators or the owner to erase all data on the device if it is confirmed lost or stolen. Together, these two controls protect data both immediately (lock) and definitively (wipe). Synchronization, radio disabling, and remote backup do not directly prevent unauthorized access to the data on a misplaced device.
