Interview the IAM/IAO and obtain a list of required applications. These are applications that must be present on managed devices. Note the list of applications may be different for different groups of users. Verify the MAM server has been configured to prohibit the removal of required applications on managed devices or alert and take a predefined action if required applications have been removed. Talk to the site system administrator and have them show this capability has been configured on the MAM server. Also, review MAM product documentation. Mark as a finding if the MAM server is not configured to prohibit the removal of required applications on managed devices or alert and take a predefined action if required applications have been removed. Note that it also a finding if the MAM server does not have required capabilities.
