How to Check Whether a Lost Work Laptop Still Has Access to Company Services

A lost laptop may retain active sessions or local data even after its user password is changed. The remaining access depends on device controls and connected services.

What to check

Record the device and account, check management and encryption status, active sessions, tokens, certificates, and recent sign-ins. Follow the organization’s incident and privacy process.

Recommended next step

Revoke sessions and credentials as appropriate, remotely lock or wipe through approved management, and preserve evidence. Informatix Systems can assess endpoint and identity controls.
