APPL-14-002016 - The macOS system must disable iCloud Notes.

Information

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

Solution

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