Title

Applications must meet organizational requirements to implement an information system isolation boundary that minimizes the number of non-security functions included within the boundary containing security functions. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

The information system isolates security functions from non-security functions by means of an isolation boundary (implemented via partitions and domains) controlling access to and protecting the integrity of, the hardware, software, and firmware that perform those security functions. The information system maintains a separate execution domain (e.g., address space) for each executing process. Rationale for non-applicability: It is assumed that mobile applications leverage the security functions of the operating system and that the operating system provides the requisite isolation of security functions from other functions. If an application embeds additional security functionality, those security functions are protected from other applications via applications sandboxing. When the mobile application connects to remote enterprise application resources, the remote resources perform the required isolation.
