Title

Purpose and Scope

Control

The purpose of this document is to introduce the mSCP to broader audiences. This document provides a high-level overview of the mSCP, its components, and some common use cases. It refers readers to the online project documentation for in-depth technical information and use instructions. This document is intended to be independent of macOS version releases; updates will be released as needed when there are substantial changes to the mSCP.

The information in this document regarding the details of the mSCP GitHub site is accurate at the time of publication. Check the project wiki ( https://github.com/usnistgov/macos_security/wiki ) for the latest information.

The release of NIST SP 800-219 formally deprecates NIST SP 800-179 [2] and SP 800-179, Revision 1 [3] . Their applicable recommendations have already been added to corresponding mSCP baselines. Organizations that need to reference a NIST SP to demonstrate how they are complying with United States Government mandates for adopting secure configurations for their macOS devices may reference this SP instead of SP 800-179 or SP 800-179, Revision 1.
