The MDM must disable copying data from outside the security container into the security container application on the mobile device in the security policy implemented on managed mobile devices.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-26729 WIR-GMMS-006-02 SV-33972r2_rule ECCR-1 Medium
Description
A security container is required on any device using a mobile OS with an encryption module which is not FIPS 140-2 validated. An approved security container application uses FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module with AES encryption to protect data-at-rest and data-in-transit. If this requirement is not met, malware could be saved in the security container application on the mobile device.

If the MDM client provides the mobile device security container, use the following procedure for verifying requirement is met:
1. Make a list of all iOS security policies listed on the MDM server that have been assigned to iOS devices and review each policy using the following procedure:
-Have the SA identify STIG compliant and non compliant policies on the server.
--Log into the MDM server console.
--Click on the Policies tab.
--View all iOS security policies on the server.
-Note: STIG-compliant policies should be identified as such in the policy title. An example is STIG_iOS_Policy. It is recommended that all non-STIG policies be deleted.
2. Select each security policy iOS devices are assigned to, and in turn, verify the required settings are in the policy.
-Note: If there is a finding, note the name of the non STIG-compliant policy in the Findings Details section in VMS/Component Provided Tracking Database.
-Launch the MDM console and click on the Policies tab.
-Select an iOS security policy to review.
-The exact procedure used to verify the required setting will vary by MDM product.

For the Good technology MDM server:
-Verify “Do not allow data to be copied into the Good application” is checked.

Mark as a finding if copying data from a non-secure data area on the mobile device to inside the security container is not disabled in the security policy.
