Explanation

The correlation between the new social networking app and increased device thefts strongly suggests the app is broadcasting employees' locations (e.g., automatic check-ins, status updates), alerting thieves to when staff members are away from home or the office. The CISO should implement geolocated presence privacy controls to restrict or anonymize location data shared by the app, eliminating the intelligence that bad actors are exploiting. Option A (automatic location check-ins) would make the problem worse by actively broadcasting locations. Option C (integrity controls) addresses data accuracy/tampering, not physical theft. Option D (NAC quarantine) is a network access control mechanism unrelated to preventing physical theft enabled by location exposure.
