AIOS-02-080005 - Apple iOS must not allow backup to remote systems (My Photo Stream).

Information

When My Photo Stream is enabled, sensitive photos will be uploaded automatically to Apple-specified servers and available on other Apple iOS devices associated with the same Apple ID, provided that the other device also has My Photo Stream enabled. This potentially places sensitive photos on a server outside of DoD's control and potentially makes them available to non-DoD devices. Disabling My Photo Stream mitigates this risk.

Solution

Install a configuration profile to disable My Photo Stream.
