The Apple iOS/iPadOS 15 must be supervised by the MDM.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>When an iOS/iPadOS is not supervised, the DoD mobile service provider cannot control when new iOS/iPadOS updates are installed on site-managed devices. Most updates should be installed immediately to mitigate new security vulnerabilities, while some sites need to test each update prior to installation to ensure critical missions are not adversely impacted by the update. Several password and data protection controls can be implemented only when an Apple device is supervised.
