Discussion

Many mobile devices display notifications on the lock screen so users can obtain relevant information in a timely manner without having to frequently unlock the phone. However, in many cases, these notifications can contain sensitive information. When they are available on the lock screen, an adversary can view them merely by being in close physical proximity to the device. Configuring the mobile operating system not to send notifications to the lock screen mitigates this risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #18

Review configuration settings to confirm the display of notifications when the device is locked has been disabled. 

This check procedure is performed on the Apple visionOS management tool and mobile device. 

In the Apple visionOS management tool, for each managed app, verify the app is configured to disable Notifications preview.

On the Vision Pro:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap "General".
3. Tap "VPN & Device Management".
4. Tap the configuration profile from the visionOS management tool containing the management policy.
5. Tap "Apps".
6. Tap an app and verify "Disallow notification view in locked screen" is listed.

Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each managed app in the list.

If one or more managed apps are not set to disable showing notification view on locked screen, this is a finding.
