The LG Android 5.0 platform must be managed by an MDM.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-58839	LGA5-20-002500	SV-73269r1_rule		Medium

Description
Security-related parameters are those parameters impacting the security state of the system and include parameters related to the implementation of other IA controls. If these controls are not implemented, the system may be vulnerable to a variety of attacks. The use of an MDM allows an organization to assign values to security-related parameters across all the devices it manages. This provides assurance that the required mobile OS security controls are being enforced and that the device user or an adversary has not modified or disabled the controls. It also greatly increases efficiency and manageability of devices in a large-scale environment relative to an environment in which each device must be configured separately. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #42

This validation procedure is performed on the LG Android device. On the LG Android device: 1. Open the application list and verify the presence of an MDM agent. 2. Open the MDM agent and verify that the MDM agent has been enrolled: Settings >> Security >> Phone Administrator. MDM Agent must be checked. Note: Verification of the MDM agent is MDM vendor specific. If the MDM agent is not present on the LG Android device, or if the MDM agent has not been enrolled (checked), this is a finding.
