- Oracle linux CIS benchmark

FIPS 140 and MacOS
For starters there's an entire NIST project for macOS Security Compliance - https://github.com/usnistgov/macos_security this will make your life a million times easier to meet a lot of the technical controls required for compliance. Nothing like this really exists for Windows or Linux(closest is Compliance As Code https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content)
- Ansible for automation/ hardening.
- I wrote a Script to bring firefox into dISA STIG compliance on RHEL 7 & 8 systems.
- hardening a RHEL8 VM using OpenSCAP and DISA STIG

CIS Benchmarking Git Community
I haven't used this in a while but take a look at ComplianceAsCode it is attempting to apply controls for each of the different benchmarks on different OSes. It might have what you are looking for, plus you can always contribute back any changes you make to help others.

Nist controls and acceptable artifacts and evidence. Does anyone have a controls spreadsheet that lists all 800-53 controls and evidence required to satisfy that control?
https://github.com/usnistgov/macos_security - for macOS this would help.

Need reporting about device CIS compliance
I’d highly recommend checking out the usnistgov/macos_security on GitHub. You can generate a benchmark and then feed the output into extension attributes to trigger policies on.

Could use some advice on my career change
Study about cybersecurity, or how to harden a macOS fleet against published security frameworks.

Enrolling devices in ABM/Mosyle
Weigh the pros and cons about having your end-users be standard users or admins on their Macs. If they are already admins (probably), consider the political blowback if you take away their admin rights and flexibility and autonomy they've become used to. Conversely, consider the security posture of your organization. If it has to adhere to some well-known guides (like 800-171 o 800-53r5), then you may not be able to allow end-users to be admins. Take a look at the macOS Security Compliance Project.
