Information

The macOS system must disable iCloud Photo Library.

GROUP ID: V-277113
RULE ID: SV-277113r1149438

The macOS built-in Photos.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 photo synchronization must be controlled by an organization-approved service.

Solution

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