A client device includes an operating system that lacks an application native to the operating system for remotely effecting a complete data wipe of a storage device of the client device. The client device determines a status of the client device violates a compliance rule associated with operation of the client device. In response to determining that the client device violates the compliance rule, the client device sends the status to a server. The client device initiates execution of an operating system kernel call to remotely effect a complete data wipe of a storage device of the client device.
