Description
If a user can configure the security setting, the user could inadvertently or maliciously set it to a value that poses unacceptable risk to DOD information systems. An adversary could exploit vulnerabilities created by the weaker configuration to compromise DOD sensitive information. Dictation information could contain sensitive DOD information; therefore, should not leave the DOD control. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #47

ℹ️ Check
If the Vision Pro being reviewed is supervised by the MDM, review configuration settings to confirm "Disable connections to Siri servers for the purpose of dictation" is disabled. This check procedure is performed on the device management tool. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the visionOS management tool, verify "Disable connections to Siri servers for the purpose of dictation" is checked. If connections to Siri servers are not disabled for dictation, this is a finding.
