Checklist Summary:

The IBM MaaS360 v2.3.x Mobile Device Management (MDM) Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) provides security policy and configuration requirements for the use of the MaaS360 MDM platform to provide administrative management of Mobile Operating System (MOS) devices in the Department of Defense (DoD). This STIG applies to version 2.3.x of the MaaS360 server. The MaaS360 product can be deployed as either Software as a Service (SaaS), where the server is installed in an IBM data center, or On-Premise, where the server is installed in a DoD datacenter. Both implementation models are covered by this STIG. The Supplemental document contains information regarding features, functions, and required Information Assurance (IA) controls for each implementation. The MaaS360 SaaS version has completed Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FeDRAMP) certification (Level 2 Provisional Authorization [PA]). It is recommended that DoD Authorizing Officials (AO) limit deployments of MaaS360 to On-Premise. The scope of this STIG includes the Apple iOS 9 and the Microsoft Windows 8.1 Phone. AOs can contact DISA at disa.stig_spt@mail.mil to obtain current information regarding the capability of the MaaS360 to manage STIG-required MDM controls for other mobile devices, including BlackBerry and Android.

Regulatory Compliance:

DoD Instruction (DoDI) 8500.01 requires that “all IT that receives, processes, stores, displays, or transmits DoD information will be […] configured […] consistent with applicable DoD cybersecurity policies, standards, and architectures” and tasks that Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) “develops and maintains control correlation identifiers (CCIs), security requirements guides (SRGs), security technical implementation guides (STIGs), and mobile code risk categories and usage guides that implement and are consistent with DoD cybersecurity policies, standards, architectures, security controls, and validation procedures, with the support of the NSA/CSS, using input from stakeholders, and using automation whenever possible.” This document is provided under the authority of DoDI 8500.01.

Comments/Warnings/Miscellaneous:

DISA accepts no liability for the consequences of applying specific configuration settings made on the basis of the SRGs/STIGs. It must be noted that the configuration settings specified should be evaluated in a local, representative test environment before implementation in a production environment, especially within large user populations. The extensive variety of environments makes it impossible to test these configuration settings for all potential software configurations. For some production environments, failure to test before implementation may lead to a loss of required functionality. Evaluating the risks and benefits to a system’s particular circumstances and requirements is the system owner’s responsibility. The evaluated risks resulting from not applying specified configuration settings must be approved by the responsible Authorizing Official. Furthermore, DISA implies no warranty that the application of all specified configurations will make a system 100 percent secure. Security guidance is provided for the Department of Defense. While other agencies and organizations are free to use it, care must be given to ensure that all applicable security guidance is applied both at the device hardening level as well as the architectural level due to the fact that some of the settings may not be able to be configured in environments outside the DoD architecture.
