Description |
---|
If data at rest is unencrypted, it is vulnerable to disclosure. Even if the operating system enforces permissions on data access, an adversary can remove non-volatile memory and read it directly, thereby circumventing operating system controls. Encrypting the data ensures that confidentiality is protected even when the operating system is not running. |

Verify mobile systems employ DoD-approved full disk encryption. If full disk encryption is not implemented, this is a finding. If BitLocker is used, verify it is turned on for the operating system drive and any fixed data drives. Open "BitLocker Drive Encryption" from the Control Panel. If the operating system drive or any fixed data drives have "Turn on BitLocker", this is a finding. |
