The XFA app now shows only the security checks that your organization requires, instead of displaying all available checks.

Each organization configures its own policy with specific security requirements. The app now dynamically matches these requirements and shows you exactly which checks apply to you:

• Policy-scoped checks — Only checks defined in your organization's policy are evaluated and displayed.
• Clear status per check — Each check shows whether your device passes, needs attention, or is blocked.
• Not required checks — Checks that don't apply to your organization are marked as "Not required" so you always know what matters.

This makes it much easier to understand what your organization expects from your device and how to stay compliant.

New security check: Device restart verification​

We've introduced a new security feature that verifies if a device has been restarted recently. This check helps ensure that the device is in a clean state and hasn't been compromised.

Why this matters:

• Clear potential malware and exploits
• Complete security updates and patches
• Reset network connections to prevent unauthorized access
• Eliminate memory leaks that could lead to vulnerabilities

You can now enforce users to restart their device if it detects that the device hasn't been restarted for an extended period, helping maintain optimal security conditions. Do you want to know more about why you should enforce this check? Check out our blog post.

🔐 Biometric authentication now mandatory​

To enhance security, XFA now makes it possible to require biometric authentication (fingerprint or face recognition) for all sensitive operations. This ensures that only authorized users can access protected features.

Key changes:

• Enforce biometric authentication for all sensitive operations
• Support for both fingerprint and face recognition
• Seamless integration with device security features

This mandatory biometric authentication adds an extra layer of security to ensure that only the rightful owner of the device can access sensitive information and perform critical operations.

📱 XFA now identifies if your mobile phone is rooted or jailbroken.​

To ensure the security and integrity of our application, we now check if a mobile device is rooted, jailbroken, or has developer mode enabled.

These checks are important because:

• Rooted or jailbroken devices remove built-in security restrictions, making them more vulnerable to malware, data breaches, and unauthorized modifications.
• Developer mode can expose sensitive debug information and enable actions that bypass security mechanisms.
