Review configuration settings to confirm "Force limited ad tracking" is checked. This check procedure is performed on both the Apple iOS/iPadOS management tool and 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 Apple iOS/iPadOS management tool, verify "Force limited ad tracking" is checked. Alternatively, verify the text "&ltkey>forceLimitAdTracking&lt/key>&lttrue/>" appears in the configuration profile (.mobileconfig file). On the iPhone and iPad: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General.". 3. Tap "Profiles & Device Management" or "Profiles.". 4. Tap the Configuration Profile from the iOS management tool containing the management policy. 5. Tap "Restrictions.". 6. Verify "Limit ad tracking enforced" or "Requests to track from apps not allowed" is present. If "limited ad tracking enforced" is missing in the Apple iOS/iPadOS management tool, "&ltkey>forceLimitAdTracking&lt/key>&ltfalse/>" does not appear in the configuration profile, or the restrictions policy on the iPhone and iPad does not list "Limit ad tracking enforced", this is a finding.

This is a supervised-only control. If the iPhone or iPad being reviewed is not supervised by the MDM, this control is automatically a finding. If the iPhone or iPad being reviewed is supervised by the MDM, review configuration settings to confirm "Allow USB Restricted Mode" is enabled. This check procedure is performed on both the device management tool and the iPhone and iPad device.

Tap "Profiles & Device Management" or "Profiles.". 4. Tap the Configuration Profile from the iOS management tool containing the restrictions policy. 5. Tap "Restrictions.". 6. Verify there is no listing for "Allow USB Restricted Mode.". If "Allow USB Restricted Mode" is not enabled in the management tool and there is a restriction in listed the profile on the Apple device, this is a finding.

When set correctly, there will not be anything listed in the Restrictions profile and the user will be able to toggle USB accessories on/off. Note: "Allow USB Restricted Mode" may be called "Allow USB accessories while device is locked" in some MDM consoles. The required logic is to disable USB accessory connections when the device is locked.

Install a configuration profile to configure "Allow USB Restricted Mode" to "True" in the management tool. This a supervised-only control. Note: The default configuration setting for "allowAllow USB Restricted Mode" is "True" in most MDM products. This is the required setting. When set correctly, there will not be anything listed in the Restrictions profile and the user will be able to toggle USB accessories on/off. Note: This control is called "Allow USB accessories while device is locked" in Apple Configurator, and the control logic is opposite to what is listed here. Ensure the MDM policy rule is set correctly (to disable USB accessory connections when the device is locked).
