| 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. | ||||

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.
