BackStopp is a tool that helps organizations remotely wipe data and locate lost or stolen mobile devices like phones and PDAs. It allows wiping of all personal and business data from the device using US DoD standards. It also provides an audit trail with details of what data was erased and the location of the device when turned on through GSM cell triangulation. BackStopp protects mobile data with minimal user intervention and is part of an effective information assurance policy for organizations.
