Discussion

Disabling Apple watches is a necessary step to ensuring that the information system retains a session lock until the user reestablishes access using authorized identification and authentication procedures.

Check

Verify the macOS system is configured to prevent Apple Watch from terminating a session lock with the following command:

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

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

Fix

Configure the macOS system to prevent Apple Watch from terminating a session lock by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
