AIOS-15-001000 - Apple iOS/iPadOS 15 must provide the capability for the Administrator (MDM) to perform the following management function: enable/disable VPN protection across the device and [selection: other methods].

Information

The System Administrator must have the capability to configure VPN access to meet organization-specific policies based on mission needs. Otherwise, a user could inadvertently or maliciously set up a VPN and connect to a network that poses unacceptable risk to DoD information systems. An adversary could exploit vulnerabilities created by the weaker configuration to compromise DoD sensitive information.

SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #3

Solution

If a third-party unmanaged VPN app is installed on the iOS 15 device, do not configure the VPN app with a DoD network VPN profile.
