It is a fact that certain US agencies required Blackberry or Android, rather than iOS on iPhone, for this reason.
- manuelabeledo 3y agoI believe this is no longer true. iOS devices are allowed in the DoD, for example.

- manuelabeledo 3y agoI'm not aware of any consumer phone that would follow a pure red/black architecture. There are a bunch that are CNSSP-11 compliant, though: https://www.nsa.gov/Resources/Commercial-Solutions-for-Classified-Program/Components-List/ https://www.nsa.gov/Resources/Commercial-Solutions-for-Class...
