NICKS STIG:

Settings –> Wi-Fi Networks –> Ask to Join Networks

This must be enabled so your phone doesn’t simply join a strong signal network. This would leave you open to Man-in-the-Middle attacks.

Settings –> Wallpaper –> Image with Warning

Include a wallpaper that informs users of contact information and return information.

Settings –> General –> Date & Time –> Set Automatically

This is two-fold for security. Good date and time ensures proper and true logging time stamps in the event of your phone needing forensic information gathered. Also the phone will periodically check-in for time syncs giving a better chance for tracking the phone in the event of a loss.
