os_ess_installed Must Use ESS

NIST macOS Security Compliance Project Sequoia Guidance, Revision 4.0 (be5491f)
All changes in this version
first version loaded macOS

Title

Must Use ESS

Control

Ask the System Administrator (SA) or Information System Security Officer (ISSO) if the approved ESS solution is loaded on the system.
If the installed components of the ESS solution are not at the DoD approved minimal versions, this is a finding.

Discussion

The approved ESS solution _MUST_ be installed and configured to run.

The macOS system must employ automated mechanisms to determine the state of system components. The DoD requires the installation and use of an approved ESS solution to be implemented on the operating system. For additional information, reference all applicable ESS OPORDs and FRAGOs on SIPRNET.

Fix

Install the approved ESS solution onto the system.
