Check Content

This check procedure is performed on the device management tool and the device.

Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review.

In the iOS management tool, verify the following controls are set to Disable (the text may vary, depending on the UEM/MDM product): 
-Allow External Intelligence Integrations
-Allow External Intelligence Integrations Sign In

On the iPhone/iPad (Apple Intelligence capable device only):
1. Settings >> Apple Intelligence & Siri >> ChatGPT.
2. Verify “ChatGPT” is grayed out and disabled.

If ChatGPT and other external AI app connections are not disabled in the management tool or are not grayed out and disabled on the iPhone/iPad, this is a finding.
