A method for providing information handling system (IHS) security includes providing a plurality of monitored IHSs coupled to a monitoring IHS through a network. A physical lock status is determined for each of the plurality of monitored IHSs using a respective lock sensor located in each monitored IHS. The physical lock status is received by the monitoring IHS for each of the plurality of monitored IHSs over the network. A security report that includes the physical lock status for each of the plurality of monitored IHSs is created. The security report is displayed on a display coupled to the monitoring IHS.
