AIOS-02-080006 - Apple iOS must not allow backup to remote systems (iCloud Photo Sharing, also known as Shared Photo Streams).

Information

When iCloud Photo Sharing is enabled, sensitive photos will be uploaded automatically to Apple-specified servers and available on the Apple IOS devices of other users who have accepted invitations to participate in iCloud Photo Sharing. This potentially places sensitive photos on a server outside of DoD's control and potentially makes them available to non-DoD users and devices. Disabling iCloud Photo Sharing mitigates this risk.

Solution

Install a configuration profile to disable iCloud Photo Sharing.
