Discussion

If the user is able to add a personal email account (POP3, IMAP, EAS) to the work email app, it could be used to forward sensitive DoD data to unauthorized recipients. Restricting email account addition to the administrator or restricting email account addition to whitelisted accounts mitigates this vulnerability. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #47

Check Content

Review the Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie devices Work Profile configuration settings to confirm that users are prevented from adding personal email accounts to the work email app. 
 
This procedure is performed on both the MDM Administrator console and the Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie devices device. 
 
On the MDM console:
1. Open the User restrictions setting.
2. Verify that "Disallow add accounts" is set to "On".

On the Honeywell Android Pie device, do the following: 
1. Open Settings. 
2. Tap "Accounts". 
3. Verify that "Add account" is grayed out under the Work section.
 
If on the MDM console the restriction to "Disallow add accounts" is not set or on the Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie device the user is able to add an account, this is a finding.
