V-26797 SRG-NET-NA SV-34047r1_rule Medium
Description
This requirement applies only to mobile devices for which a login occurs (e.g., personal digital assistants and smart phones) and not to mobile devices accessed without a login such as removable media. In certain situations, this requirement may not apply to mobile devices if the information on the device is encrypted with sufficiently strong encryption mechanisms, making purging unnecessary. The login is to the mobile device, not to any one account on the device.
