Title

The organization must produce a written policy and training material that states CMDs classified as non-enterprise activated must not access DoD email systems. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Some CMDs are not authorized to connect to DoD email systems because they do not have required security controls. There is a high risk of introducing malware on a DoD email system or of compromising sensitive DoD data if these types of devices are connected to a DoD email system. There is a high risk sensitive data will be exposed to unauthorized personnel with access to the device if DoD email was viewed, processed, or stored on the device.

Check Content

CMDs classified as non-enterprise activated are not authorized to access DoD networks or store or process sensitive DoD information. Interview the security personnel and 2-3 users who are using mobile OS devices that are managed by the site, and which are not authorized to connect to DoD email systems. Verify written policy and training material exists (or requirement is listed on a signed user agreement) stating mobile devices must not be used to connect to a DoD email system. If written policy and training material does not exist or users are not aware of the requirement, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Develop a written policy and training material that states CMDs classified as non-enterprise activated must not access DoD email systems.
