Information

Some Bluetooth profiles provide the capability for remote transfer of sensitive DOD data without encryption or otherwise do not meet DOD IT security policies and therefore must be disabled.

SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1/BLUETOOTH BT-8

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Configure the Google Android 16 device to disable Bluetooth, or if the AO has approved the use of Bluetooth (for example, for car hands-free use), train the user to connect to only authorized Bluetooth devices using only HSP, HFP, or SPP Bluetooth-capable devices (User-Based Enforcement).

To disable Bluetooth, use the following procedure:

On the EMM console:

COBO:

1. Open the 'User restrictions' section.
2. Toggle 'Disallow Bluetooth' to 'ON'.

COPE:

1. Open the 'User restrictions on parent' section.
2. Toggle 'Disallow Bluetooth' to 'ON'.

The user training requirement is satisfied in GOOG-16-009800.
