Pete, the system administrator, has concerns regarding users losing their company provided smartphones. Pete's focus is on equipment recovery. Which of the following BEST addresses his concerns?

Enforcing device passwords protects data on a lost device from unauthorized access but does not help locate or recover the physical hardware.

Remote sanitization (remote wipe) destroys data on the device to prevent a breach but renders the device wiped and does not assist in physical recovery.

Enabling GPS tracking on mobile devices allows the organization to determine the real-time physical location of a lost or stolen device, directly supporting equipment recovery efforts. This is typically implemented through a mobile device management (MDM) solution such as Microsoft Intune or Apple Business Manager. The other options protect data on the device but do nothing to facilitate retrieval of the hardware itself.

Encrypting stored data protects the confidentiality of data if the device is lost but provides no mechanism for locating or recovering the device.
