Windows 10 Mobile must not allow backup to remote systems and must have a mechanism to restrict abilities of applications and OS components that leverage cloud storage by blocking backup to OneDrive.
Description
Discussion Text
Backups to remote systems (including cloud backup) can leave data vulnerable to breach on the external systems, which often offer less protection than the MOS. Where the remote backup involves a cloud-based solution, the backup capability is often used to synchronize data across multiple devices. In this case, DoD devices may synchronize DoD-sensitive information to a user's personal device or other unauthorized computers that are vulnerable to breach. Disallowing remote backup mitigates this risk.
For Windows 10 Mobile, this requirement is needed to prevent access to Cloud Services such as OneDrive by OS applications and components such as:
