The EMM system supporting the iOS/iPadOS 16 BYOAD must be configured to initiate autonomous monitoring, compliance, and validation prior to granting the BYOAD access to DOD information and IT resources.

DOD policy requires BYOAD devices with DOD data be managed by a DOD MDM server, MAM server, or VMI system. This ensures the device can be monitored for compliance with the approved security baseline and managed data and apps can be removed when the device is out of compliance, which protects DOD data from unauthorized exposure.

Reference: DOD policy "Use of Non-Government Mobile Devices". 3.a.(3)iii.

SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #47
