Discussion

The organization must issue or obtain public key certificates from an organization-approved service provider and ensure only approved trust anchors are in the System Keychain.

Check Content

Verify the macOS system is configured to issue or obtain public key certificates from an approved service provider with the following command:

/usr/bin/security dump-keychain /Library/Keychains/System.keychain | /usr/bin/awk -F'"' '/labl/ {print $4}'

If the result does not contain a list of approved certificate authorities, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the macOS system to issue or obtain public key certificates from an approved service provider by obtaining the approved certificates from the appropriate authority and install them to the System Keychain.
