| Dictation must be restricted to on device only to prevent potential data exfiltration. The information system must be configured to provide only essential capabilities. |
| ℹ️ Check |

| For Intel-based systems, this is not applicable. Verify the macOS system is configured to enforce on device dictation with the following command: /usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS $.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\ .objectForKey('forceOnDeviceOnlyDictation').js EOS If the result is not "true", this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |

| Configure the macOS system to enforce on device dictation by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile. |
