Centrally Managed iOS Password Standards

Background and Purpose

The Jamf campus community asked EPM team to explore ISO and CIS Benchmarks for iOS compliance. The breakout team identified that iOS passwords should be explored for centralized management primarily due to the fact that a device isn't encrypted if not password controlled. 

Scope - Staff, faculty general use devices.

Out of scope - instruction and research devices.

Proposed centralized password standards:

• No simple passwords (ex 123456)
• Six alphanumeric characters long

Change schedule:

Will be enacted on Nov 7th. 

Areas of concern:

Kiosk Management 

Kiosk devices will need to be excluded when onboarding. An exclusion group is being set up by the EPM team.
