Description
Cryptography is only as strong as the encryption modules/algorithms that are employed to encrypt the data. Strong encryption must be used to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the data. In this case the requirement is that the email client must utilize FIPS 140-2 encryption.

Determine if the MDM server includes a mobile email management capability. If no, this requirement is not applicable. If yes, perform the following procedure: Verify the mobile email client encrypts all email using a FIPS 140-2 validated encryption algorithm. Talk to the site system administrator and have them confirm this capability exists in the MDM server. Also, review the MDM server configuration. If the mobile email client does not encrypt all email using a FIPS 140-2 validated encryption algorithm, this is a finding.
