Allow geographic location
Summary
The mobile device must allow remote geographic location in case of loss.
Description
Allowing geographic location on mobile devices gives the ability to determine the physical location (through geographical coordinates) of the device, without requiring physical access to it. This is a control implemented as an anti-theft and loss prevention measure.
