Discussion

Authorizing official (AO) approval is required before the mobile device camera can be enabled for a specific user or group of users, based on a risk assessment of the operational environment. Camera use may lead to the exposure of sensitive DOD information in some operational environments.

SFR ID: FMT_MOF_EXT.1.2 #47

Check

Determine if the site AO has approved the use of device cameras. Look for a document showing approval for a specific user or group of users. If not approved, review configuration settings to confirm "Allow Camera" is disabled. If approved, this requirement is not applicable. Review configuration settings to confirm that the device camera has been disabled.

This check procedure is performed on the device management tool and the Samsung Android 14 device.

On the MDM console:

COBO and COPE:

1. Open "Camera". 2. Verify that "disable camera" setting is disabled.

On the managed Samsung Android 14 device:

COBO and COPE:

Verify that the camera cannot be used on the mobile device.

If the device camera has not been disabled, this is a finding.

Fix

If the AO has not approved the use of Samsung device camera, configure Samsung Android 14 to disable the device camera.

On the MDM console:

COBO and COPE:

1. Open "Camera". 2. Select "Disable camera".
