NIST 800-171
3.13 SYSTEM AND COMMUNICATIONS PROTECTION
3.13.7
Prevent remote devices from simultaneously establishing non-remote connections with organizational systems and communicating via some other connection to resources in external networks (i.e. split tunneling).
Split tunneling might be desirable by remote users to communicate with local system resources such as printers or file servers. However split tunneling allows unauthorized external connections making the system more vulnerable to attack and to exfiltration of organizational information. This requirement is implemented in remote devices (e.g. notebook computers smart phones and tablets) through configuration settings to disable split tunneling in those devices and by preventing configuration settings from being readily configurable by users. This requirement is implemented in the system by the detection of split tunneling (or of configuration settings that allow split tunneling) in the remote device and by prohibiting the connection if the remote device is using split tunneling
