Checklist Summary:

The Apple iOS/iPadOS 16 Bring Your Own Approved Device (BYOAD) Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) provides the technical security policies, requirements, and implementation details for applying security concepts to personally owned Apple devices running iOS/iPadOS 16 that process, store, or transmit unclassified data marked as “Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)” or below. The STIG is based on the Protection Profile for Mobile Device Fundamentals (MDFPP) version 3.3 (BYOD use case); DOD Memorandum, “Use of Non-Government Owned Mobile Devices, August 10, 2022”; and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 1800-22, “Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)”. The scope of this STIG covers only the BYOAD use case. The items addressed in the STIG are not specific to an iOS/iPadOS hardware type/model; rather, they are tied to the version of the operating system running on the iPhone or iPad (e.g., iOS 16 or iPadOS 16). This STIG assumes the technology used for data separation between work apps, data and personal apps, and data that has been certified by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) is compliant with the data separation requirements of the MDFPP1. As of the publication date of this STIG, the only data separation technology or application that is NIAP-certified for an Apple iOS/iPadOS device is the native iOS/iPadOS managed/unmanaged application technology. Note: Refer to Section 2.4 of the STIG Supplemental document for operational considerations the DOD site and Authorizing Official (AO) should review prior to deploying BYOAD. Note: DOD sites must add the following statement to User Agreements: “Screenshots will not be taken of any “work” related managed data.”
