Problem to solve

This is in regards to the big_sur branch in particular
• Bluetooth_prefpane_disable exists in both os and sysprefs folder and sysprefs_bluetooth_prefpane_disable and sysprefs_bluetooth_prefpane_hidden both have same value of “HiddenPreferencesPanes”

The following security controls don't contain a STIG entry in the references section. Almost all SC's, even if not relevant to a guidance, will have the guidance name and the value of n/a

• os_efi_integrity_validated
• os_password_hint_remove
• os_root_disable
• sysprefs_improve_siri_dictation_disable

• A security control seems to appear twice, os_apple_mobile_file_integrity_enforce and os_mobile_file_integrity_enable. Both have the same checks and fixes.

Intended users

All users. Unsure of whether to classify this as a bug or a feature.

Further details

Proposal

Documentation

Testing

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
