Create an Android Common Criteria Mode Policy

The Android Common Criteria Mode Policy lets you configure Common Criteria (CC) Mode for fully managed and dedicated Android devices. CC Mode simplifies device configuration and ensures that devices are compliant with security standards set in the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation. This policy works for devices running Android 6.0 and later.

Warning:

CC Mode enforces a strict security model typically only required for IT products used in national security systems and other highly sensitive organizations. Standard device use might be affected.
