Ensure "Allow Cloud Keychain Sync" is set to "False"

MediumLevel 1Manual reviewintune-macos

Description

iCloud Keychain is a feature that synchronizes passwords, credit card information, WiFi network information, and other sensitive credentials across all of a user's Apple devices. When enabled, this data is encrypted and stored in iCloud. The benchmark marks this a Manual check of an Intune macOS policy setting that cannot be read from the endpoint with a script, so TMAegis lists it as a manual review item with the audit steps (the policy must be inspected in the Intune admin center or on the managed device).

How it is checked

Audit method: Manual review

This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.

macOS: Intune admin center: Expand the Restrictions heading; Verify that Allow Cloud Keychain Sync is present and set to False. On the device: Double-click com.apple.applicationaccess Profile; Under the Details section; Confirm Disallow iCloud Keychain Sync is set to True

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Intune admin center: Select Restrictions; Check Allow Cloud Keychain Sync; On the left side of the page set Allow Cloud Keychain Sync to False; Verify that Allow Cloud Keychain Sync is present and set to False
