Windows Mobile 5.0 with MSFP is a compact operating system for use on Pocket PCs and Smartphones that allows users to extend their corporate Windows desktop to mobile devices in a secure manner.

The Target of Evaluation is an enterprise mobile messaging solution that includes:

  • the applications and services of the Windows Mobile operating system that can be used to securely synchronise and access email, contacts and calendar whilst away from their office workstation; and
  • the capability for establishing corporate mobile device security policies and standards

The Target of Evaluation includes security functionality designed to protect data while in transit between the mobile device and the corporate network.

The TOE provides the ability to wipe the data, either remotely or locally, in response to the possible compromise of a mobile device. The TOE also incorporates self protection mechanisms to prevent unauthorised code from being executed on the mobile device
