iOS Safari is required by the Good system for download of software updates.

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.

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 Safari” is checked.

Mark as a finding if not set as required.
