Users must enroll their Mac in MDM software.

User Approved MDM (UAMDM) enrollment or enrollment via Apple Business Manager (ABM)/Apple School Manager (ASM) is required to manage certain security settings. 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

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.

Fix

Configure the macOS system by ensuring that the system is enrolled via UAMDM.
