AIOS-10-080103 - Apple iOS must implement the management setting: not allow user to remove profiles that enforce DoD security requirements.

Information

Configuration profiles define security policies on Apple iOS devices. If a user is able to remove a configuration profile, the user can then change the configuration that had been enforced by that policy. Relaxing security policies may introduce vulnerabilities that the profiles had mitigated. Configuring a profile to never be removed mitigates this risk.

Solution

Configure the Apple iOS configuration profile such that it can never be removed.
