Review configuration settings to confirm the device is set to require a passcode before use. When an iPhone/iPad is configured to use a passcode, the device is automatically in FIPS 140-3 validated mode. This procedure is performed in the Apple iOS/iPadOS management tool and on the iPhone and iPad. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the MDM server, verify in the Declarative Device Management (DDM) configuration "Passcode" that "Require passcode" has been set to "Yes". On the iPhone and iPad: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General". 3. Tap "VPN & Device Management". 4. Tap the Configuration Profile from the MDM server containing the policy. 5. Tap "Configurations". 6. Tap "Passcode". 7. Verify "Require passcode" is set to "Yes". If "Passcode required" is not set to "Yes" in the MDM server or on the iPhone or iPad, this is a finding.

Install a configuration profile to require a password to unlock the device. When an iPhone/iPad is configured to use a passcode, the device is automatically in FIPS 140-3 validated mode. In the MDM server, in the DDM configuration "Passcode", set "Require passcode" to "Yes".
