Configure the Samsung Android Workspace to disable backup to remote systems (including commercial clouds).
Refer to the guidance in KNOX-09-000050 for Method #1 and #2 for configuring the "application disable list".
On the MDM console, for the Workspace, do the following:
1. In the "Android device owner" group, unselect "enable backup service".
2. In the "Knox restrictions" group, unselect "allow google accounts auto sync".
3. Add all preinstalled public cloud backup system apps to the system application disable list if not already configured.
Note: The guidance for disablement of system apps that have the characteristic "back up MD data to non-DoD cloud servers (including user and application access to cloud backup services)" is covered by KNOX-09-000120.
Review the Samsung Android Workspace configuration settings to confirm that backup to a remote system (including commercial clouds) has been disabled.
This procedure is performed on the MDM Administration console and the Samsung Android device.
Refer to the procedure in KNOX-09-000050 for Method #1 and #2 for verifying the "application disable list".
On the MDM console, for the Workspace, do the following:
1. In the "Android device owner" group, verify that "enable backup service" is not selected.
2. In the "Knox restrictions" group, verify that "allow google accounts auto sync" is not selected.
3. Verify that the system application disable list contains all preinstalled cloud backup system apps.
On the Samsung Android device:
1. Open Settings.
2. Tap "Workspace".
3. Tap "Accounts".
4. Tap a listed Google account.
5. Tap "Sync account" and verify that all sync options are disabled and cannot be enabled.
6. Review the apps on the "Workspace" App screen and confirm that none of the cloud backup system apps are present.
If on the MDM console "enable backup service" is selected or "allow google accounts auto sync" is selected, or on the Samsung Android device "Backup service not available" is not listed, "sync options" are enabled for a Google Account, or a "cloud backup" system app is present on the "Workspace" App Screen, this is a finding.
