Information

This feature must be disabled to comply with DOD electronic records retention requirements for mobile devices. Otherwise, mobile device users could wipe the device, which would violate DOD policy.

SFR ID: FMT_MOF_EXT.1.2 #47

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

Solution

Train users to not perform a factory reset on the Android device without AO approval. Document training via the site's mobile device training records or the User Agreement. This is a UBE control.

Note: It is not possible for the MDM to enforce this control when the Android device is deployed in COPE mode.
