Monitoring electronic devices

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• determining whether environmental condition data collected by a plurality of sensors of a mobile device complies with an environmental condition rule comprising thresholds associated with the environmental condition data, the environmental condition data representative of external elements detected by the sensors;
• and
• when the environmental condition data does not comply with the environmental condition rule, informing a user of the mobile device of an environmental condition associated with the environmental condition data and performing a self-protecting procedure defined in the environmental condition rule, the self-protecting procedure to protect the mobile device from the environmental condition.
