Fix Recommendation

Configure Samsung Android to disable all Bluetooth profiles except for HSP, HFP, SPP, A2DP, AVRCP, and PBAP.

On the management tool, in the device Bluetooth section, add each DoD-approved profile UUID to the "Bluetooth UUID allowlist": HFP, HSP, SPP, A2DP, AVRCP, and PBAP.

Check Contents

Review Samsung Android configuration settings to determine if all Bluetooth profiles are disabled except for HSP, HFP, SPP, A2DP, AVRCP, and PBAP.

This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool Administration Console and the Samsung Android device.

On the management tool, in the device Bluetooth section, verify that only DoD-approved profile UUIDs are listed in the "Bluetooth UUID allowlist": HFP, HSP, SPP, A2DP, AVRCP, and PBAP.

On the Samsung Android device:
1. Open Settings >> Connections >> Bluetooth.
2. Verify only Bluetooth devices that use DoD-approved profiles are listed.

If on the management tool the "Bluetooth UUID allowlist" contains non-DoD-approved profile UUIDs, or on the Samsung Android device Bluetooth devices that use non-DoD-approved profiles are listed, this is a finding.
