Detailed Policy Requirements: The mobile device system administrator must perform a wipe command on all new or reissued mobile devices, reload system software, and load a STIG-compliant security policy on the mobile device before issuing it to DoD personnel and placing the device on a DoD network. The intent is to return the device to the factory state before the DoD software baseline is installed. When wireless over-the-air (OTA) activation is performed, the activation password is passed to the user in a secure manner (e.g., activation password is encrypted and emailed to an individual). Check Procedures: Interview the ISSO. Verify required procedures are followed. If required procedures were not followed, this is a finding.
