AIOS-17-011800 - Apple iOS/iPadOS 17 must implement the management setting: force Apple Watch wrist detection.

Information

Because Apple Watch is a personal device, it is key that any sensitive DOD data displayed on the Apple Watch cannot be viewed when the watch is not in the immediate possession of the user. This control ensures the Apple Watch screen locks when the user takes the watch off, thereby protecting sensitive DOD data from possible exposure.
