Systems and methods for establishing biometric hardwired Information Handling System (IHS) ownership are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include: a processor; a biometric module including a one-time write biometric profile; and a memory coupled to the processor, where the memory includes program instructions store thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: obtain biometric data from a user of the IHS; and allow access to the IHS based, at least in part, on a validation of the biometric data with the biometric profile. In another embodiment, a method includes obtaining biometric data from a user of an IHS; and allowing access to the IHS based, at least in part, on a validation of the biometric data with a biometric profile stored in a one-time write memory of the IHS.

Systems and methods for location-based IHS disablement in an Information Handling System (IHS) are described. In an embodiment, an IHS may include: a host processor; a security processor coupled to the host processor; and a memory coupled to the security processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the security processor to: detect a location where the IHS is currently disposed; determine one or more restrictions associated with the detected location, each of the restrictions specifying a limitation to be imparted on a resource of the IHS; and communicate with the IHS to apply the determined restrictions.
