Mobile systems must encrypt all data per the DoD Data at Rest policy.
Overview
| Finding ID | Version | Rule ID | IA Controls | Severity |

| WN08-00-000013 | WN08-00-000013 | WN08-00-000013_rule | High |
| 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. |
