AIOS-14-011000 - Apple iOS/iPadOS must implement the management setting: disable paired Apple Watch.

Information

The STIG requires AO approval before an Apple Watch (DoD-owned or personally owned) can be paired with a DoD-owned iPhone to insure the AO has evaluated the risk in having sensitive DoD data transferred to and stored on an Apple Watch in their operational environment.

SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #47

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

If the AO has not approved the use of Apple Watch with DoD-owned iPhones, install a configuration profile to disable the Apple Watch control in the management tool. This a supervised-only control.
