Title

The macOS system must enforce enrollment in Mobile Device Management (MDM). (Cat II impact)

Currently, these include: * Allowed Kernel Extensions. * Allowed Approved System Extensions. * Privacy Preferences Policy Control Payload. * ExtensibleSingleSignOn. * FDEFileVault. * Activation Lock Bypass. * Access to Bootstrap Tokens. * Scheduling Software Updates. * Query list and delete local users.

Check Content

Verify the macOS system is configured to enforce enrollment in mobile device management with the following command: /usr/bin/profiles status -type enrollment | /usr/bin/awk -F: '/MDM enrollment/ {print $2}' | /usr/bin/grep -c "Yes (User Approved)" If the result is not "1", this is a finding.
