Erase Content and Settings must be disabled.

Without disabling the Erase Content and Settings configuration, forensics data could be lost if this feature is activated on a compromised system.

Check

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable Erase Content and Settings with the following command:

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowEraseContentAndSettings').js
EOS

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

Fix

Configure the macOS system to disable Erase Content and Settings by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
