Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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)
-
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.

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.

Hardening macOS
You can get most of the way to hardening to CIS level 1 picking more up-to-date fork of these https://github.com/jamf/CIS-for-macOS-Catalina-CP.
FWIW, CIS level 1 will mean people get locked out of their machines very frequently. Complex 15 character passwords with 3 retries from memory. So you need a half-decent MDM to unlock quickly. There is no half-decent MDM out there. Only shit ones but workable like Jamf.
Also you the username does't get auto-populated on login so the typo can be in username and user assumes it is with password. Very fast way to get lock outs.
To pass a full security review you might want to play with Google Santa. But that is intense.
