Device-initiated (local) compliance for iOS jailbreak detection

MobileIron Cloud checks a device for compliance with its security policy each time the device checks in. MobileIron Cloud also checks all devices for compliance at regular intervals to detect out-of-compliance devices that have not checked in. When a device is out of compliance, MobileIron Cloud initiates the specified compliance actions.

When an iOS device is jailbroken (compromised), some compliance actions can be device-initiated. Device-initiated compliance (local compliance) for jailbreak detection means:

• The MobileIron client detects the violation.
• The MobileIron client performs one or more of the following: alerts the user, blocks AppConnect apps, or retires AppConnect apps (blocks access to the apps and wipes their data).

These actions do not depend on connectivity to MobileIron Cloud.

Compliance actions for jailbroken devices is configured in the Compromised Devices policy on MobileIron Cloud. For more information, see "Policies" in the MobileIron Cloud Administrator Guide.
