Verify the macOS system is configured to disable Bluetooth with the following command:
/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS $.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.MCXBluetooth')\ .objectForKey('DisableBluetooth').js EOS
If the result is not "true", this is a finding.
Configure the macOS system to disable Bluetooth by installing the "com.apple.MCXBluetooth" configuration profiles.
