Title

The macOS system must disable iCloud storage setup during Setup Assistant.

Control

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable iCloud storage setup during Setup Assistant with the following command: /usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS $.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.SetupAssistant.managed')\ .objectForKey('SkipiCloudStorageSetup').js EOS If the result is not "true", this is a finding.

Discussion

The prompt to set up iCloud storage services during Setup Assistant must be disabled. The default behavior of macOS is to prompt new users to set up storage in iCloud. Disabling the iCloud storage setup prompt provides organizations with more control over their data storage.
