Discussion

Any changes to the hardware, software, and/or firmware components of the information system and/or application can potentially have significant effects on the overall security of the system. Accordingly, software defined by the organization as critical must be signed with a certificate that is recognized and approved by the organization.

Check Content

Verify the macOS system is configured with the security assessment policy subsystem enabled with the following command:

/usr/sbin/spctl --status

assessments enabled

If "assessments enabled" is not returned, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the macOS system to enable the security assessment policy subsystem by installing the "Custom Policy" configuration profile.
