Apple iOS/iPadOS 16 users must complete required training.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>The security posture on iOS devices requires the device user to configure several required policy rules on their device. User-Based Enforcement (UBE) is required for these controls. In addition, if the authorizing official (AO) has approved users' full access to the Apple App Store, users must receive training on risks. If a user is not aware of their responsibilities and does not comply with UBE requirements, the security posture of the iOS mobile device and DoD sensitive data may become compromised.

Remediation - Manual Procedure

Have all iPhone and iPad users complete training on the following topics. Users must acknowledge receipt of training via a signed User Agreement or similar written record.

Training topics:
- Operational security concerns introduced by unmanaged applications, including applications using global positioning system (GPS) tracking.
- Must ensure no DoD data is saved in an unmanaged app or transmitted from a personal app (for example, from personal email). 
- If the Purebred key management app is used, users are responsible for maintaining positive control of their credentialed device at all times. The DoD PKI certificate policy requires subscribers to maintain positive control of the devices that contain private keys and report any loss of control so the credentials can be revoked. Upon device retirement, turn in, or reassignment, ensure a factory data reset is performed prior to device handoff. Follow mobility service provider decommissioning procedures as applicable.
