Description
Malware can be introduced on a DoD enclave via personally-owned applications and personal website accounts. In addition, sensitive DoD data could be exposed by the same malware. The DoD component must publish a Personal Use Policy for DoD component managed or owned CMDs. The policy will provide information on allowed personal use of DoD component mobile devices, including devices approved for connection to DoD networks and processing of sensitive data and for devices not approved for connection to DoD networks and processing of DoD data (for example, non-enterprise activated devices). The policy will be approved by the DAA based on a risk based assessment. The assessment will consider costs to the Command that could result from additional wireless service charges from personal usage of the device.

Check Text ( C-44212r1_chk )
Determine if the site has a Personal Use Policy for site/Command-managed or owned CMDs. The policy must include:

-Installation of user-owned and free commercial applications.
-Viewing and/or downloading personal email.
-Download of user-owned data (music files, picture files, etc.).
-Connections to user social media accounts.
-The use of geo-location aware applications that save or transmit the location of the device. The use of geo-location aware applications should be based on an Operational Security (OPSEC) risk assessment.
-Connecting DoD managed mobile devices to personally-owned computers. (For example, a personally owned computer used to download personally-owned files to the mobile device.)

Verify the policy has been signed or otherwise approved by the site DAA.

If a Personal Use Policy for site/Command managed or owned CMDs does not exist or is not approved by the DAA, this is a finding.
