Cloud Check

There are many different versions of the OS (Operating System) so this check will be generic i.e Android version/iOS version.

This check is carried out:

  • To see what permissions are set up i.e is the device set up to automatically connect to cloud services?
  • To see which things (if any) are being automatically uploaded
  • To think about issues related to cloud services ie how can they trust them? What rights do/don’t they have?
