IT Policy rule Allow Network Address Book Sync (Service Exclusivity policy group) must be set as required. (Cat III impact)

Discussion

This rule specifies whether the carrier's backup can run on a BlackBerry® device, which permits a BlackBerry device user to synchronize only the contacts that are included in the user's MyFaves plan with the carrier's mobile backup. Use of this service may allow the storage of DoD sensitive data on a carrier server and expose the data to non-DoD personnel.
