The macOS system must enforce screen saver timeout.

GROUP ID: V-259441RULE ID: SV-259441r958402

The screen saver timeout must be set to 900 seconds or a shorter length of time.

Solution

Configure the macOS system to initiate the screen saver after 15 minutes of inactivity by installing the "com.apple.screensaver" configuration profile.
