Discussion

In some DOD operational environments, the use of the mobile device camera or microphone could lead to a security incident or compromise of DOD information. The system administrator must have the capability to disable the mobile device camera and/or microphone based on mission needs. Alternatively, mobile devices with cameras or microphones that cannot be disabled must be prohibited from the facility by the information system security officer (ISSO)/information system security manager (ISSM). If BYOAD devices are brought into facilities where the authorizing official (AO) has determined the risk of using mobile device cameras or microphones is unacceptable, this could lead to the exposure of sensitive DOD data.

Verify iOS/iPadOS 16 BYOADs are prohibited in DOD facilities that prohibit mobile devices with cameras and microphones. 

Refer to the site Facility Security Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to determine site requirements.

If for DOD sites that prohibit mobile devices with cameras and microphones, the ISSO/ISSM has not prohibited iOS/iPadOS 16 BYOADs from the facility, this is a finding.
