Description
Any operating system providing too much information in error logs and in administrative messages to the screen, risks compromising the data and security of the structure and content of error messages needs to be carefully considered by the organization. Rationale for non-applicability: Resource constraints on mobile devices preclude implementation of all IA functions. The applicability of this control may be reconsidered at a future date if subsequent generations of mobile devices are better able to support this control and the applications and data typically on the device justify its implementation.
