iOS Supervised High Security Configuration

Overview:

The iOS Supervised High provides a highly secure baseline for corporately owned iOS devices. It is recommended for devices used by specific users or groups who are uniquely high risk (for example, users who handle highly sensitive data where unauthorized disclosure causes considerable material loss to the organization).

Intune Description:

High security configuration for a corporately owned, enterprise iOS mobile device.

Scope:

This template should be applied to iOS devices.

Policy Impact Areas:

When deployed, this policy will impact:

  • Block App Store and iCloud backups (while forcing encrypted backups).
  • Impact / limit functionality of Siri, AirDrop, iTunes and Find My Friends.
  • Enforcing device reset after 5 repeated failed sign-in attempts.

Deployment Notes:

  1. Pre-Deployment Considerations:

    • Ensure devices are wiped prior to deployment.

    • Ensure devices are managed by Apple Business Manager.
  2. Post-Deployment Validation:

    • Verify lock screen timeout (5 minutes) and password length enforcement (6+ characters).

Known Issues and Resolutions

  • Issue 1: Block setting up new nearby devices
