Discussion

The System Settings pane for Siri must be hidden. Hiding the System Settings pane prevents the users from configuring Siri.

Check Content

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable the system settings pane for Siri with the following command:

/usr/bin/profiles show -output stdout-xml | /usr/bin/xmllint --xpath '//key[text()="DisabledSystemSettings"]/following-sibling::*[1]' - | /usr/bin/grep -c com.apple.Siri-Settings.extension

If the result is not "1", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the macOS system to disable the system settings pane for Siri by installing the "com.apple.systempreferences" configuration profile.
