How CAPTOR Supports United States STIG Compliance for Secure Photo Capture and Management
Josh Bohls
For organizations that follow the United States Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG), managing sensitive data on mobile devices is critical — especially when it comes to photos. According to the STIG for iOS devices:
“The iOS Photos app is unmanaged and may sync photos with a device user’s personal iCloud account. Therefore, work-related photos must not be taken via the iOS camera app or stored in the Photos app. A managed photo app must be used to take and manage work-related photos.”
This is exactly where CAPTOR by Inkscreen plays a vital role. CAPTOR replaces the native camera app with a secure, policy-controlled alternative that ensures all photos and videos are captured, stored, and shared exclusively within your organization’s secure environment. Photos never touch the unmanaged iOS Photos app or a personal iCloud account — eliminating a major data leakage risk.
CAPTOR integrates with your MDM/EMM solution, giving IT teams full control over how photos are used, shared, and retained. Whether documenting site visits, evidence, or sensitive work data, users can capture what they need without violating STIG requirements.
For organizations that take compliance seriously, CAPTOR is an essential tool to keep work content secure, private, and fully managed.
