This requirement only applies to Work space only and Work and personal - Regulated activation types and to version 10.3.3 and later of the BlackBerry OS. (Cat III impact)

Discussion

Audit logs enable monitoring of security-relevant events and subsequent forensics when breaches occur. They help identify attacks, so that breaches can either be prevented or limited in their scope. They facilitate analysis to improve performance and security. Required audit events: a. Start-up and shutdown of the audit functions; b. Change in MDM policy; c. Device modification commanded by the MDM server; d. Specifically defined auditable events in Table 7 of MDM Agent EP v.2.0. SFR ID: FAU_GEN.1.1(2) Refinement, MDM Agent EP
