Description
Configuring the app to revert to a predetermined safe mode of operation helps ensure continuity of critical operations during adverse conditions. For apps supporting mission-critical functions, including military operations and weapons systems (especially real-time operational environments), organizations may choose to identify certain conditions under which the app will revert to a predetermined safe mode of operation. The safe mode of operation, which can be activated automatically or manually, restricts the types of app functions/commands that can be performed when those conditions are encountered. Restrictions include, for example, allowing only certain functions that could be carried out under limited power or with reduced communications bandwidth.

Check Text ( C-SRG-APP-000388-MAPP-000100_chk )
Review the mobile app configuration or code to determine if the mobile app, when organization-defined conditions are detected, enters a safe mode of operation with organization-defined restrictions. If the app does not enter a safe mode under the appropriate conditions, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-SRG-APP-000388-MAPP-000100_fix)
Configure or code the mobile app so that, when organization-defined conditions are detected, it enters a safe mode of operation with organization-defined restrictions.
