Checklist Summary:

This document, Security Configuration Benchmark for Apple iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, provides prescriptive guidance for establishing a secure configuration posture for the Apple iOS and iPadOS version 14. This guide was tested against the Apple iOS 14.1 and iPadOS 14.1 and using Apple Configurator v2.13.1. This benchmark covers the Apple iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 on all supported devices. As of the publication of this guidance, devices supported by iOS 14 or iPadOS 14 include the following: • iPhone 6s and later • iPod touch (7th generation) and later • iPad Pro and later • iPad (5th generation) • iPad Air 2 • iPad mini 4 and later In determining recommendations, the current guidance considers iOS and iPadOS devices as having the same use cases and threat scenarios. In all but a very few cases, configuration steps, default settings, and benchmark recommended settings are identical regardless of hardware platform or operating system; for the few cases where variation exists, the benchmark notes the difference within the respective section.
