Security is a key factor when choosing a mobile device. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has confirmed the security features of the iPhone and iPad* and has approved commercially available iPhones and iPads for use by federal agencies.
With this approval recommendation, the BSI confirms that confidential information is adequately protected on Apple devices. The pre-installed apps for email, calendar, and contacts are secure enough to handle classified information in the “For Official Use Only” category. This makes the iPhone and iPad ideal for use in the public sector and eliminates the need for expensive, complex container solutions.
iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 offer numerous security features that protect your data and your device. Some of the most important security features are:
Face ID and Touch ID: You can use Face ID or Touch ID to unlock your iPhone or iPad quickly and securely.
App Store: The App Store is the only place you should download apps for your iPhone or iPad. Apple reviews every app in the App Store for security issues.
Privacy: iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 offer numerous privacy features, including the ability to restrict apps’ access to your camera, microphone, and photos.
Security Updates: Apple regularly releases security updates for iOS and iPadOS to address known security issues.
*) This recommendation applies to the iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 operating systems.
