Information

The macOS system must disable iCloud Address Book.

GROUP ID: V-268489
RULE ID: SV-268489r1034407

The macOS built-in Contacts.app connection to Apple's iCloud service must be disabled.

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

Solution

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