Information

The macOS system must disable iCloud Keychain Sync.

GROUP ID: V-268501
RULE ID: SV-268501r1034443

The macOS system's ability to automatically synchronize a user's passwords to their iCloud account must be disabled.

Apple's iCloud service does not provide an organization with enough control over the storage and access of data and, therefore, password management and synchronization must be controlled by an organization-approved service.

Solution

Configure the macOS system to disable iCloud Keychain Sync by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
