Discussion

The ability for Apple to store and review audio of Siri and Dictation interactions must be disabled. The information system must be configured to provide only essential capabilities. Disabling the submission of Siri and Dictation information will mitigate the risk of unwanted data being sent to Apple.

Check Content

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable sending Siri and Dictation information to Apple with the following command:

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.assistant.support')\
.objectForKey('Siri Data Sharing Opt-In Status').js
EOS

If the result is not "2", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the macOS system to disable sending Siri and Dictation information to Apple by installing the "com.apple.assistant.support" configuration profile.
