Google Android 15 must be configured to not allow backup of [all applications, configuration data] to locally connected systems.

Description
Data on mobile devices is protected by numerous mechanisms, including user authentication, access control, and cryptography. When the data is backed up to an external system (either locally connected or cloud based), many if not all of these mechanisms are no longer present. This leaves the backed-up data vulnerable to attack. Disabling backup to external systems mitigates this risk. SFRID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #40

Who does this work

13 NICE work roles and 8 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-267445r1137817_chk)

Review managed Google Android 15 device configuration settings to determine if the capability to back up to a locally connected system has been disabled. This validation procedure is performed on both the EMM Administration Console and the managed Google Android 15 device. On the EMM console: COBO and COPE: 1. Open "Device owner management". 2. Verify "Enable backup service" is toggled to "OFF". On the managed Google Android 15 device: COBO: 1. Go to Settings >> System >> Backup. 2. Verify Backup settings is "Not available". COPE: 1. Go to Settings >> System >> Backup. 2. Select "Work". 3. Verify Backup settings is "Not available". If the EMM console device policy is not set to disable the capability to back up to a locally connected system or on the managed Google Android 15 device, the device policy is not set to disable the capability to back up to a locally connected system, and this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-71272r1031519_fix)

Configure the Google Android 15 device to disable backup to locally connected systems. On the EMM console: COBO and COPE: 1. Open "Device owner management". 2. Toggle "Enable backup service" to "OFF".
