macOS-Security-and-Privacy-Guide VS CIS-macOS-Security

Hi friends, I followed this guide: https://github.com/drduh/macOS-Security-and-Privacy-Guide and some additional steps to protect my macbook from being accessed by unauthorized people. The key steps I did was a full disk encryption and a custom firmware password. This makes it extremely difficult to repurpose my macbook after for example a theft. The reason I want this is that I often study in university or sometimes work in public places, but I also work as a software developer with sensitive consumer data.

turn on FileVault , turn on the firewall (built in). install Lulu firewall follow this guide and harden the system https://github.com/drduh/macOS-Security-and-Privacy-Guide

I'm looking for a guide to harden MacOS Ventura, preferably including little snitch/lulu blocklist suggestions for MacOS services. I'm aware of dr druh's guide (that currently doesn't seem to be updated for Ventura though) and isn't including a little snitch/lulu blocklist.

- macos, following https://github.com/drduh/macOS-Security-and-Privacy-Guide for hardening (I haven't compared this to other hardening guides, but doing something is better than nothing)

I remember seeing this, I have never followed it so I don't know what it's worth but it's seems quite comprehensive

https://support.apple.com/guide/certifications/macos-security-compliance-project-apc322685bb2/web should be your first stop and that Apple Support page has a link to the macOS Security Compliance Project.

I’ve got json schemas here that might cover that, been putting these together for the 2022 CIS benchmarks for Monterey https://github.com/scriptsandthings/scriptsandthings_Jamf_JSON_Schemas/tree/main/Schemas/Apple they’re based on the plists that https://github.com/mvdbent/CIS-macOS-Security spit out at me for CIS level 1 and level 2.
