With Sophos endpoint I can wipe a computer remotely
Hello Angel,
Thanks for reaching out to us.
Sophos Endpoint does not have the ability to remotely wipe a Windows device. It is only possible to do this if you have deployed "Sophos Mobile Control" on the Windows device.
If you have an XDR license, it is possible to use the "Live Response" feature to issue commands directly on the remote device. You can use this to perform a remote wipe if you do not have Sophos Mobile.
It looks like the tools Microsoft has available do not allow you to do this operation silently, however, some resources can be found online to help script this.
Another option would be to only delete the sensitive files you do not want to leave on the device, or to delete system files to make the system inoperable.
