The macOS system must disable Find My service.

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 must rely on MDM solutions, which have much more secure authentication requirements, to perform remote lock and remote wipe.

Who does this work

5 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-277133r1148851_chk)

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 Text (F-81193r1148850_fix)

Configure the macOS system to disable Find My service by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" and "com.apple.icloud.managed"configuration profiles.
