Review the site physical security plan. Determine if digital cameras are allowed in site facilities. -If yes, “Allow use of camera” can be checked or not checked. -If no, or the plan does not specifically state use of digital cameras are allowed, “Allow use of camera” must be unchecked. This is a Good security policy set check. Recommend that all checks related to Good security policy set rules be reviewed using the following procedure. Note: The site has the ability to disable the camera by using the iPhone profile if camera use is not approved or allow the use of the camera and if use is approved and documented in the site physical security policy. Also, the site can state in the site physical security policy that camera use outside the facility is approved, but the camera must be disabled on the phone when brought into the facility. In this case, “Allow use of camera” would not be checked. 1. Make a list of all Good security policy sets assigned to smartphone user accounts on the Good server using the following procedure: -Have the SA identify any non ISCG-compliant policy sets and ISCG-compliant policy sets on the server. --Log into the Good Mobile Control console. --Click on the Policies tab. --View all policy sets on the server. -Note: STIG-compliant policy sets should be identified as such in the policy title. Examples are as follows: ISCG_iOS_Policy_Set, STIG_WM6-5_Policy_Set, or STIG_Android_Policy_Set. It is recommended that all non-STIG/ISCG policy sets be deleted. 2. Select each policy set users are assigned to, and in turn, verify the required settings are in the policy set. -Note: If there is a finding, note the name of the non ISCG-compliant policy set in the Findings Details section in VMS/Component Provided Tracking Database. -Launch the Good Mobile Control Web console and click on the Policies tab. -Select the policy set for the iOS devices and click on iPhone Configuration on the left side. -Click the Restrictions tab. -Verify “Allow use of camera” is unchecked or checked, as indicated above. -Determine if “Allow use of camera” is unchecked or checked. If checked, verify the site physical security policy allows the use of smartphone cameras. Mark as a finding if “Allow use of camera” is checked and the site physical security policy does not allow the use of smartphone cameras.
