Many organizations will enforce a pin-lock on the phones they provide to their staff, as part of their security policy. This is enforced at the phone operating system level and typically cannot be turn off by the user.
This is precisely so, in the event that a phone is lost or stolen, possibly sensitive emails and texts are not made public.
Such policies will wipe the data on the phone if the PIN is entered (say) 5 times incorrectly and it is also possible to do a remote wipe of the data on the most popular business handsets (Android, iOS, Blackberry).
Of course, this doesn't help you find the phones owner
