- Create Extension Attributes using the following scripts:
Set as Data Type "String." Reads contents of /Library/Application Support/SecurityScoring/org_audit file and records to Jamf Pro inventory record.
Set as Data Type "Integer." Reads contents of /Library/Application Support/SecurityScoring/org_audit file and records count of items to Jamf Pro inventory record. Usable with smart group logic (2.6_Audit_Count greater than 0) to immediately determine computers not in compliance.
-
After creation, make note of the ID number of these Extension Attributes. To find the ID, select the Extension Attribute then click into your browser's address bar. The ID number is after the "id=" in the URL.
-
Add the following scripts to your Jamf Pro
- 1_Set_Organization_Priorities
- 2_Security_Audit_Compliance_ORG or 2_Security_Audit_Compliance_API
- 3_Security_Remediation
Scripts 1_Set_Organization_Priorities and 2_Security_Audit_Compliance_API will need additional configuration prior to deployment.
Admins set organizational compliance for each listed item, which gets written to plist. The values default to "true," meaning if an organization wishes to disregard a given item they must set the value to false by changing the associated comment:
OrgScore1_1="true" or OrgScore1_1="false"
The script writes to /Library/Application Support/SecurityScoring/org_security_score.plist by default.
Configure the following variables in the script:
- Line 42: Enter your Jamf Pro URL.
- Lines 52 and 53: The values for "ENTER_SALT_HERE" and "ENTER_PASSWORD_HERE" are generated by the Encrypted Strings repo created by Bryson Tyrrell. (https://github.com/brysontyrrell/EncryptedStrings) To generate the values, paste the following into Terminal:
function GenerateEncryptedString() {
# Usage ~$ GenerateEncryptedString "String"
local STRING="${1}"
local SALT=$(openssl rand -hex 8)
local K=$(openssl rand -hex 12)
local ENCRYPTED=$(echo "${STRING}" | openssl enc -aes256 -a -A -S "${SALT}" -k "${K}")
echo "Encrypted String: ${ENCRYPTED}"
echo "Salt: ${SALT} | Passphrase: ${K}"
} Press return then enter
GenerateEncryptedString "Username_String"replacing Username_String with a Jamf Pro API username that has PUT permission for Computer Extension Attributes. Save the output for later use and repeat this step with the API user's password. Enter the respective Salt and Password in lines 52 and 53.
-
Line 55: Enter the ID for the Extension Attribute 2.6_Audit_Count
-
Line 56: Enter the ID for the Extension Attribute 2.5_Audit_List
-
Add the configured script to your Jamf Pro server and configure the parameter labels for parameter 4 (API Username Encrypted String) and parameter 5 (API Password Encrypted String).
-
Create a single Jamf Policy using all three scripts.
1_Set_Organization_Priorities - Script Priority: Before
2_Security_Audit_Compliance_ORG or 2_Security_Audit_Compliance_API - Script Priority: Before
3_Security_Remediation - Script Priority: Before
2_Security_Audit_Compliance_ORG or 2_Security_Audit_Compliance_API - Script Priority: After
For script 2_Security_Audit_Compliance enter the values generated when you configured lines 52 and 53 in parameters 4 and 5.
- Policy: Some recurring trigger to track compliance over time. Do not add Update Inventory if using the API script as the API entries in script 2_Security_Audit_Compliance will populate the appropriate Extension Attributes. If using 2_Security_Audit_Compliance_ORG, add Update Inventory.
NOTES:
- Item "1.1 Verify all Apple provided software is current" is disabled by default.
- Item "2.1.2 Turn off Bluetooth "Discoverable" mode when not pairing devices - not applicable to 10.9 and higher." Starting with OS X (10.9) Bluetooth is only set to Discoverable when the Bluetooth System Preference is selected. To ensure that the computer is not Discoverable do not leave that preference open.
- Item "2.3.3 Verify Display Sleep is set to a value larger than the Screen Saver (Not Scored)" The rationale in the CIS Benchmark for this is incorrect. The computer will lock if the display sleeps before the Screen Saver activates
- Item "2.6.6 Enable Location Services (Not Scored)" is disabled by default. As of macOS 10.12.2, Location Services cannot be enabled/monitored programmatically. It is considered user opt in.
- Item "2.6.7 Monitor Location Services Access (Not Scored)" is disabled by default. As of macOS 10.12.2, Location Services cannot be enabled/monitored programmatically. It is considered user opt in.
- Item "2.8.1 Time Machine Auto-Backup " is disabled by default. Time Machine is typically not used as an Enterprise backup solution
- Item "2.8.2 Time Machine Volumes Are Encrypted (Not Scored)" is disabled by default. Time Machine is typically not used as an Enterprise backup solution
- Item "2.12 Securely delete files as needed (Not Scored)" is disabled by default. With the wider use of FileVault and other encryption methods and the growing use of Solid State Drives the requirements have changed and the "Secure Empty Trash" capability has been removed from the GUI.
- Item "3.4 Enable remote logging for Desktops on trusted networks (Not Scored)" is disabled by default. The built-in syslog capability in OS X runs over UDP without encryption. Broadcasting log unencrypted over the internet is not a good idea. While syslog may be acceptable on some internal trusted networks it is not a solution for mobile devices that hop between networks.
- Item "4.3 Create network specific locations (Not Scored)" is disabled by default.
- Item "5.4 Automatically lock the login keychain for inactivity" is disabled by default.
- Item "5.5 Ensure login keychain is locked when the computer sleeps" is disabled by default.
- Item "5.6 Enable OCSP and CRL certificate checking" is disabled by default.
- Item "5.14 Do not enter a password-related hint (Not Scored)" is disabled by default. Not needed if 6.1.2 Disable "Show password hints" is enforced.
- Item "5.16 Secure individual keychains and items (Not Scored)" is disabled by default.
- Item "5.17 Create specialized keychains for different purposes (Not Scored)" is disabled by default.
- Item "5.19 Install an approved tokend for smartcard authentication" is disabled by default. This is superseded by the macos 10.12.x built in SmartCardServices and CryptoTokenKit.
- Item "6.4 Safari disable Internet Plugins for global use (Not Scored)" is disabled by default.
- Item "6.5 Use parental controls for systems that are not centrally managed (Not Scored)" is disabled by default.
2_Security_Audit_Compliance_ORG or 2_Security_Audit_Compliance_API can be used in the policy.
Run this before and after 3_Security_Remediation to audit the Remediation Reads the plist at /Library/Application Support/SecurityScoring/org_security_score.plist. For items prioritized (listed as "true,") the script queries against the current computer/user environment to determine compliance against each item.
Non-compliant items are recorded at /Library/Application Support/SecurityScoring/org_audit
Run this before and after 3_Security_Remediation to audit the Remediation Reads the plist at /Library/Application Support/SecurityScoring/org_security_score.plist. For items prioritized (listed as "true,") the script queries against the current computer/user environment to determine compliance against each item.
Non-compliant items are recorded at /Library/Application Support/SecurityScoring/org_audit. Using the REST API, the values for Extension Attributes 2_5 and 2_6 are updated
Run 2_Security_Audit_Compliance after to audit the Remediation Reads the plist at /Library/Application Support/SecurityScoring/org_security_score.plist. For items prioritized (listed as "true,") the script applies recommended remediation actions for the client/user.
