Discussion

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.

Check Content

Verify the macOS system is configured with an approved ESS solution.

If an approved ESS solution is not installed, this is a finding.
