US Patent 10326841 Remote data securement on mobile devices

A server determines a status of a client device, wherein if the client device violates the compliance rule, the server accesses a device record established by the server for the client device. The device record comprises data specifying an operating system executing on the client device. The server determines whether the client device lacks an application native to the operating system of the client device with a programming interface that supports direct communication with the at least one computing device for remotely initiating execution of the native application. The server initiates execution of a computer-readable file on the client device in response to determining that the client device lacks the native application, where the computer-readable file comprises a routine for restricting access to a hard disk storage device of the client device without user interaction.
