Endpoint Security

Stolen Device Assessment

What happens when a company laptop or phone falls into the wrong hands? Our consultants simulate a device theft scenario to determine what sensitive data and systems an attacker could access from your corporate endpoints.

Understanding the Risk

What is a Stolen Device Assessment?

Lost and stolen devices are one of the most common causes of data breaches. A stolen laptop, phone, or tablet can give an attacker direct access to corporate email, VPN credentials, cloud services, and locally stored sensitive data — unless your endpoint protections are properly configured.

We simulate exactly what an attacker would do. Our consultants take a standard-build corporate device and attempt to bypass disk encryption, extract cached credentials, access saved passwords, and pivot into your corporate network — just as a thief or opportunistic attacker would.

The result tells you how exposed you really are. You receive a clear report showing what data and systems were accessible, how your endpoint controls performed, and what changes will close the gaps.

The Case for Testing

Why You Need a Stolen Device Assessment

01

Devices go missing regularly

Laptops are left on trains, phones are stolen from pockets, and tablets are forgotten in airports. It is not a question of if a device will be lost, but when.

02

Encryption alone is not enough

Full disk encryption protects powered-off devices, but many laptops are stolen in sleep mode. Cached credentials, browser sessions, and VPN tokens may still be accessible.

03

Remote workers increase risk

Employees working from home, coffee shops, and co-working spaces are more likely to have devices stolen — and those devices often have persistent VPN and cloud access.

04

Compliance requires endpoint controls

Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, and GDPR all require appropriate technical controls to protect data on portable devices. Testing proves those controls work in practice.

05

One device can compromise your network

A stolen device with cached domain credentials or VPN access can give an attacker a direct path into your corporate network and sensitive systems.

How We Work

Our Testing Approach

Disk Encryption Testing

We test whether your disk encryption implementation protects data when the device is powered off, in sleep mode, and in hibernation — covering BitLocker, FileVault, and LUKS configurations.

Credential Extraction

We attempt to extract cached domain credentials, saved browser passwords, VPN certificates, Wi-Fi keys, and authentication tokens from the device's local storage.

Local Data Review

We examine the device for sensitive data stored locally — documents, emails, database exports, and cached cloud storage files that would be exposed in a theft scenario.

Network Access Testing

Using any credentials or tokens recovered, we test whether an attacker could use the stolen device to access your corporate network, email, cloud services, or internal applications.
