Well you weren't specific about what type of smartphone. We use Blackberries and initiate a complete wipe, we have policies in place that require the user to send a support request in immediately and /or call our director. We give them the rundown every time a new user gets a device about who what and when. The sad truth is you really don't know WHAT anyone has on their device, nuke and pave.
