NATO approves the iPhone and iPad for classified use
"Secure digital transformation is only successful if information security is considered from the beginning in the development of mobile products. Expanding on BSI's rigorous audit of iOS and iPadOS platform and device security for use in classified German information environments, we are pleased to confirm the compliance under NATO nations' assurance requirements."
"Apple says BSI conducted exhaustive technical assessments, comprehensive testing and deep security analysis. Apple's press release emphasized that these are the first consumer devices to receive the certification, and they did so without any special software or settings."
Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) certified Apple's iPhone and iPad as secure for NATO-restricted classified use following extensive technical assessments and comprehensive testing. This certification marks the first time consumer devices have achieved this NATO approval level without requiring special software or modifications. BSI previously approved these devices for German governmental use in 2022. The certification applies to iPhones and iPads running iOS 26 and demonstrates Apple's security architecture meets rigorous international standards. BSI emphasized that information security must be integrated from the beginning of mobile product development to achieve successful digital transformation.
