There are provided systems and methods for limiting device functionality based on data detection and processing. A user computing device may include sensitive or confidential data and/or processes that utilize such data that a malicious party may wish to abuse, such as an electronic transaction processing application that uses financial data of a user. The device may therefore be compromised by the malicious party if the device becomes accessible to that party. The device may utilize one or more processes to detect device data determine data proximate to the device and/or contextual data in order to determine whether limitations on application processes are required based on the potential nearby risk. If the nearby risk indicates the device application processes may be in danger, the device may impose limitations on the processes and/or wipe data. The device may also alert other devices or nearby users.
