Check Content

Review configuration settings to confirm screenshot and screen recording is disabled. This check procedure is performed on both the device management tool and the iPhone and iPad device. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the iOS/iPadOS management tool, verify "Allow screenshot and screen recording" is unchecked. On the iPhone/iPad device: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General". 3. Tap "VPN & Device Management". 4. Tap the Configuration Profile from the iOS management tool containing the restrictions policy. 5. Tap "Restrictions". 6. Verify "Screen capture not allowed" is listed. If "Allow screenshot and screen recording" is listed in the management tool or "Screen capture not allowed" is not listed on the Apple device, this is a finding.
