The screen lock timeout must be set to a value that helps protect the device from unauthorized access. Having a too-long timeout would increase the window of opportunity for adversaries who gain physical access to the mobile device through loss, theft, etc. Such devices are much more likely to be in an unlocked state when acquired by an adversary, thus granting immediate access to the data on the mobile device. The maximum timeout period of 15 minutes has been selected to balance functionality and security; shorter timeout periods may be appropriate depending on the risks posed to the mobile device. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #01b
Checks: C-72033r1_chk

Review configuration settings to confirm the screen lock timeout is set to 15 minutes or less. This check procedure is performed on both the Apple iOS management tool and the Apple iOS device. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the management tool, verify the sum of the values assigned to "Maximum Auto-Lock time" and "Grace period for device lock" is between 1 and 15 minutes. Alternatively, locate the text "<key>maxGracePeriod</key>" and "<key>maxInactivity</key>" and ensure the sum of their integer value is between 1 and 15 in the configuration profile (.mobileconfig file). For example: "<key>maxGracePeriod</key> <integer>5</integer> <key>maxInactivity</key> <integer>5</integer>" Here, 5 + 5 = 10; this meets the requirement. On the Apple iOS device: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General". 3. Tap "Profiles" or "Profiles & Device Management" or "Device Management". 4. Tap the Configuration Profile from the iOS management tool containing the password policy. 5. Tap "Restrictions". 6. Tap "Passcode". 7. Verify the sum of the "Max grace period" and "Max inactivity" values is less than 15 minutes. Note: On some iOS devices, it is not possible to have a sum of exactly 15. In these cases, the sum must be less than 15. A sum of 16 does not meet the requirement. On the management server, if the sum of the "Auto-Lock" and "Require Passcode" values is not between 1 and 15 minutes in the iOS management tool, if the sum of the values assigned to "<key>maxGracePeriod</key>" and "<key>maxInactivity</key>" is not between 1 and 15 minutes in the configuration profile, or on the iOS device, if the sum of the values assigned to "Auto-Lock" and "Require Passcode" is not between 1 and 15 minutes, this is a finding.

Fix: F-78125r1_fix

Install a configuration profile to lock the device display after 15 minutes (or less) of inactivity. This is done by setting "Maximum Auto-Lock time" and "Grace Period for device lock" so the sum of their values is between 1 and 15 minutes.

Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. The ability to crack a password is a function of how many attempts an adversary is permitted, how quickly an adversary can do each attempt, and the size of the password space. The longer the minimum length of the password is, the larger the password space. Having a too-short minimum password length significantly reduces password strength, increasing the chance of password compromise and resulting device and data compromise. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #01a
Checks: C-72035r1_chk

Review configuration settings to confirm the minimum passcode length is six or more characters. This procedure is performed in the Apple iOS management tool and on the Apple iOS device. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the Management tool, verify the "Minimum passcode length" value is set to "6" or greater. Alternatively, verify the text "<key>minLength</key> <integer>6</integer>" appears in the configuration profile (.mobileconfig file). It also is acceptable for the integer value to be greater than "6". On the Apple iOS device: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General". 3. Tap "Profiles" or "Profiles & Device Management" or "Device Management". 4. Tap the Configuration Profile from the Apple iOS management tool containing the password policy. 5. Tap "Restrictions". 6. Tap "Passcode". 7. Verify "Minimum length" is listed as "6" or greater. If the "Minimum passcode length" is less than "6" characters in the iOS management tool, "<key>minLength</key> " has an integer value of less than "6", or the password policy on the Apple iOS device from the Apple iOS management tool does not list "Minimum length" of "6" or fewer, this is a finding.

Fix: F-78127r1_fix

Install a configuration profile to enforce a minimum passcode length value of "6" or greater.

The more attempts an adversary has to guess a password, the more likely the adversary will enter the correct password and gain access to resources on the device. Setting a limit on the number of attempts mitigates this risk. Setting the limit at 10 gives authorized users the ability to make a few mistakes when entering the password but still provides adequate protection against dictionary or brute force attacks on the password. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #02
Checks: C-72037r1_chk

Review configuration settings to confirm that consecutive failed authentication attempts is set to "10" or fewer. This procedure is performed in the Apple iOS management tool and on the Apple iOS device. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the Management tool, verify the "Maximum number of failed attempts" value is set to "10" or fewer. Alternatively, verify the text "<key>maxFailedAttempts</key> <integer>10</integer>" appears in the configuration profile (.mobileconfig file).

Passwords provide a form of access control that prevents unauthorized individuals from accessing computing resources and sensitive data. Passwords may also be a source of entropy for generation of key encryption or data encryption keys. If a password is not required to access data, this data is accessible to any adversary who obtains physical possession of the device. Requiring that a password be successfully entered before the mobile device data is unencrypted mitigates this risk. Note: MDF PP v2.0 requires a Password Authentication Factor and requires management of its length and complexity. It leaves open whether the existence of a password is subject to management. This STIGID addresses the configuration to require a password, which is critical to the cybersecurity posture of the device. SFR ID: FIA_UAU_EXT.1.1
Checks: C-72039r1_chk

Review configuration settings to confirm the device is set to require a passcode before use. This procedure is performed on the iOS device. On the Apple iOS device: 1. Open the Settings app. 2.

Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. Passwords that contain repeating or sequential characters are significantly easier to guess than those that do not contain repeating or sequential characters. Therefore, disallowing repeating or sequential characters increases password strength and decreases risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #01b
Checks: C-72041r1_chk

Review configuration settings to confirm that simple passcodes are not allowed. This check procedure is performed on both the Apple iOS management tool and the Apple iOS device. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the Apple iOS management tool, verify the "Allow simple value" is unchecked. Alternatively, verify the text "<key>allowSimple</key> <false/>" appears in the configuration profile (.mobileconfig file). On the Apple iOS device: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General". 3. Tap "Profiles" or "Profiles & Device Management" or "Device Management". 4. Tap the Configuration Profile from the iOS management tool containing the password policy. 5. Tap "Restrictions". 6. Tap "Passcode". 7. Verify "Simple passcodes allowed" is not listed. If "Allow simple value" is checked in the Apple iOS management tool, "<key>allowSimple</key> <true/>" appears in the Configuration Profile, or the password policy on the Apple iOS device from the Apple iOS management tool lists "Simple passcodes allowed Yes", this is a finding.

The iCloud Keychain is an Apple iOS function that will store users' account names and passwords in iCloud and then synchronize this data among the users' Macs, iPhones, and iPads. An adversary may use any of the stored iCloud keychain passwords after unlocking one of the synchronized devices. If a user is synchronizing devices, the user must protect all of the devices to prevent unauthorized use of the passcodes. Moreover, the keychain being transmitted through the cloud opens the possibility that a well-resourced, sophisticated adversary could compromise the cloud-transmitted keychain. Not allowing the iCloud Keychain feature mitigates the risk of the encrypted set of passwords being compromised when transmitted through the cloud or synchronized across multiple devices.

An Airdrop feature is a way to send contact information or photos to other users with this same feature enabled. This feature enables a possible attack vector for adversaries to exploit. Once the attacker has gained access to the information broadcast by this feature, he/she may distribute this sensitive information very quickly and without DoD's control or awareness. By disabling this feature, the risk of mass data exfiltration will be mitigated.

Apple's Family Sharing service allows Apple iOS users to create a Family Group whose members have several shared capabilities, including the ability to lock, wipe, play a sound on, or locate the Apple iOS devices of other members. Each member of the group must be invited to the group and accept that invitation. A DoD user's Apple iOS device may be inadvertently or maliciously wiped by another member of the Family Group. This poses a risk that the user could be without a mobile device for a period of time or lose sensitive information that has not been backed up to other storage media. Configuring Apple iOS devices so their associated Apple IDs are not members of Family Groups mitigates this risk. Note: If the site uses Apple's optional Device Enrollment Program (DEP), this control is available as a supervised MDM control. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #45

Sharing of location data is an operations security (OPSEC) risk because it potentially allows an adversary to determine a DoD user's location and movements and patterns in those movements over time. An adversary could use this information to target the user or to gather intelligence on the user's likely activities. Using commercial cloud services to store and handle location data could leave the data vulnerable to breach, particularly by sophisticated adversaries.

When a device is unenrolled from MDM, it is possible to relax the security policies that the MDM had implemented on the device. This may cause apps and data to be more vulnerable than they were prior to enrollment. Removing managed apps (and consequently the data they maintain) upon unenrollment mitigates this risk because on appropriately configured Apple iOS devices, DoD-sensitive information exists only within managed apps. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #45

To facilitate the legal monitoring of mobile devices and investigations pertaining to those devices, the MOS is required to display the DoD-approved system use notification message or banner before granting access to the system. System use notification messages can be displayed when individuals unlock the device. The approved DoD text must be used as specified in KS referenced in DoDI 8500.01. The mobile operating system is required to display the DoD-approved system use notification message or banner before granting access to the system that provides privacy and security notices consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance. Required banners help ensure that DoD can audit and monitor the activities of mobile device users without legal restriction. System use notification messages can be displayed when individuals first access or unlock the mobile device. The banner must be implemented as a "click-through" banner at device unlock (to the extent permitted by the operating system). A "click through" banner prevents further activity on the information system unless and until the user executes a positive action to manifest agreement by clicking on a box indicating "OK". The approved DoD text must be used exactly as required in the KS referenced in DoDI 8500.01. For devices accommodating banners of 1300 characters, the banner text is: You are accessing a U.S. Government (USG) Information System (IS) that is provided for USG-authorized use only. By using this IS (which includes any device attached to this IS), you consent to the following conditions: -The USG routinely intercepts and monitors communications on this IS for purposes including, but not limited to, penetration testing, COMSEC monitoring, network operations and defense, personnel misconduct (PM), law enforcement (LE), and counterintelligence (CI) investigations. -At any time, the USG may inspect and seize data stored on this IS. -Communications using, or data stored on, this IS are not private, are subject to routine monitoring, interception, and search, and may be disclosed or used for any USG-authorized purpose. -This IS includes security measures (e.g., authentication and access controls) to protect USG interests--not for your personal benefit or privacy. -Notwithstanding the above, using this IS does not constitute consent to PM, LE or CI investigative searching or monitoring of the content of privileged communications, or work product, related to personal representation or services by attorneys, psychotherapists, or clergy, and their assistants. Such communications and work product are private and confidential. See User Agreement for details.

DoD sensitive data (CUI/FOUO) or PII data downloaded from DoD web sites via Safari will be saved by default in a non-managed app on a DoD iOS device. If the device is wiped via an MDM Enterprise remote wipe command, data saved in non-managed apps will not be deleted and may be accessible to unauthorized people that have access to the MDM-wiped device. If the device is wiped via a Full Device MDM remote wipe command, all data on the device, including managed and unmanaged, will be deleted, but a Full Device wipe may not be appropriate for devices that have been authorized for personal use and have personal data stored on them or are BYOD devices. The risk in not using a Full Device wipe can be mitigated if a Managed Domain Configuration profile is installed on all managed iOS devices that contains a list of all DoD web domains that may have sensitive DoD data (CUI/FOUO) and PII data (primarily DoD web domains that require DoD PKI authentication credentials to access the web site).

Review configuration settings to confirm Apple iOS is configured to wipe all sensitive DoD data and PII data during a remote wipe command from the MDM server. There are two possible implementations (policy or technical) for meeting this requirement. Interview the site MDM system administrator to determine which approach is being used at the site and follow the appropriate procedure for verifying compliance: Method #1: Policy: Verify the MDM system administrators are trained to always use a Full Device wipe when using a remote wipe command on managed iOS devices. Check system administrator training material and training records to verify compliance. Verify the site MDM administration policy includes an instruction that only a Full Device wipe command will be used when using a remote wipe command on managed iOS devices. If MDM system administrators are not trained to always use a Full Device wipe when using a remote wipe command on managed iOS devices or the site MDM administration policy does not include an instruction that only a Full Device wipe commands will be used when using a remote wipe command on managed iOS devices, this is a finding. Method #2: Technical This verification procedure is performed on both the Apple iOS management tool and the Apple iOS device. On the MDM management tool (MDM), do the following: 1. Verify a Managed Domain Configuration profile is set up on the iOS management tool. 2. Open the profile and verify it contains the current list of DoD web domains that may have sensitive DoD data (CUI/FOUO) and PII data by verifying the list was obtained from the DoD Network Information Center (NIC). On several site managed iOS devices, do the following: 1. Have the user unlock the iOS device 2. Go to Settings >> General >> Device Management 3. Verify a Managed Domain Configuration profile is installed on the device If the Apple iOS management tool does not have a Managed Domain Configuration profile installed or the profile does not contain a DoD NIC provided list of DoD web domains or any site managed iOS device reviewed does not have a Managed Domain Configuration profile installed, this is a finding.

Fix: F-78685r3_fix

One of the following two procedures will be implemented to configure Apple iOS to wipe all sensitive DoD data and PII data during a remote wipe command from the MDM server: 1. Policy method: Implement an MDM site policy that only full device remote wipe commands will be used on managed mobile devices. Enterprise wipe commands will not be used. This policy will be documented in the site MDM management policy and in system administrator training and all MDM system administrators will be trained on this requirement. 2. Technical method: MDM site will install a Managed Domain Configuration profile on all managed iOS devices. See the profile provided in the iOS 10 package. The profile will contain a list of all DoD web domains that may have sensitive DoD data (CUI/FOUO) and PII data (primarily DoD web domains that require DoD PKI authentication credentials to access the web site). Note: *.mil can be used instead of listing all DoD web domains.
