Title

Samsung Android 16 must implement the management setting: disable Camera.

Control

Determine if the site AO has approved the use of device cameras. Look for a document showing approval for a specific user or group of users. If not approved, review configuration settings to confirm "Allow Camera" is disabled. If approved, this requirement is not applicable. Review configuration settings to confirm the device camera has been disabled. This check procedure is performed on the device management tool and the Samsung Android 16 device. On the MDM console: COBO/COPE procedures: 1. Open "Camera". 2. Verify that "disable camera" setting is disabled. On the managed Samsung Android 16 device: COBO and COPE: Verify the camera cannot be used on the mobile device. If the device camera has not been disabled, this is a finding.

Discussion

Authorizing official (AO) approval is required before the mobile device camera can be enabled for a specific user or group of users, based on a risk assessment of the operational environment. Camera use may lead to the exposure of sensitive DoW information in some operational environment. SFR ID: FMT_MOF_EXT.1.2 #47
