AIOS-18-011000 - Apple iOS/iPadOS 18 must implement the management setting: disable Allow MailDrop.

Information

MailDrop allows users to send large attachments (up to 5 GB) via iCloud. Storing data with a non-DOD cloud provider may leave the data vulnerable to breach. Disabling non-DOD cloud services mitigates this risk.

SFRID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #47

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

Solution

Configure the Apple iOS/iPadOS configuration profile to disable 'Allow MailDrop'.
