| Description |
|---|
| The Find My service must be disabled. A Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution must be used to carry out remote locking and wiping instead of Apple's Find My service. Apple's Find My service uses a personal AppleID for authentication. Organizations should rely on MDM solutions, which have much more secure authentication requirements, to perform remote lock and remote wipe. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify the macOS system is configured to disable Find My service with the following command: /usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS function run() { let pref1 = ObjC.unwrap($.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\ .objectForKey('allowFindMyDevice')) let pref2 = ObjC.unwrap($.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\ .objectForKey('allowFindMyFriends')) let pref3 = ObjC.unwrap($.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.icloud.managed')\ .objectForKey('DisableFMMiCloudSetting')) if ( pref1 == false && pref2 == false && pref3 == true ) { return("true") } else { return("false") } } EOS If the result is not "true", this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Configure the macOS system to disable Find My service by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile. |
