The macOS built-in Contacts.app connection to Apple's iCloud service must
be disabled.
Apple's iCloud service does not provide an organization with enough control over the storage and access
of data, and, therefore, automated contact synchronization must be controlled by an organization
approved service.
Configure the macOS system to disable iCloud Address Book by installing
the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
Verify the macOS system is configured to disable iCloud Address Book with the following
command:
/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowCloudAddressBook').js
EOS
If the result is not "false", this is a finding.
