  1. CIS-for-macOS-Catalina-CP

    Discontinued CIS Benchmarks for macOS Catalina

    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.
