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

Description
Backups to remote systems (including cloud backup) can leave data vulnerable to breach on the external systems, which often offer less protection than the mobile operating system (MOS). Where the remote backup involves a cloud-based solution, the backup capability is often used to synchronize data across multiple devices. In this case, DOD devices may synchronize DOD sensitive information to a user's personal device or other unauthorized computers that are vulnerable to breach. Disallowing remote backup 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-267446r1137819_chk)

Review managed Google Android 15 device configuration settings to determine if the capability to back up to a remote system has been disabled. Note: Since personal accounts cannot be added to the work profile (GOOG-15-009800), this control only impacts personal profile accounts. Site can allow backup based on local policy. 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 >> System >> Backup. 2. Verify Backup settings is "Not available". COPE: 1. Go to Settings >> System >> 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 remote system or on the managed Google Android 15 device, the device policy is not set to disable the capability to back up to a remote system, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-71273r1031522_fix)

Configure the Google Android 15 device to disable backup to remote systems (including commercial clouds). On the EMM console: COBO and COPE: 1. Open "Device owner management". 2. Toggle "Enable backup service" to "OFF". Note: Since personal accounts cannot be added to the work profile (GOOG-15-009800), this control only impacts personal profile accounts. Site can allow backup based on local policy.
