The best action that a company should take when a mobile device is lost with an active network connection and a copy of unencrypted confidential data on the device is to wipe the data. This ensures that any sensitive information does not fall into the wrong hands, mitigating the risk of data breaches. Locking the phone or encrypting the data would not be sufficient steps after the device is already lost, and locating the phone may not provide a guarantee that the data is secure.
