A Python command-line tool that audits macOS (OS X) machines against hardened security configuration baselines, such as drduh's OS X Security and Privacy Guide. It interactively reports non-compliant settings and can offer to fix them, with custom baselines supported via H files.

Use cases

• audit my mac's security configuration
• check if my osx machine follows hardening best practices
• verify privacy settings on macOS
• find and fix insecure system configurations
• run a security baseline check per user account
• generate a compliance report for my laptop

When to choose

• you want an automated, interactive audit of macOS security settings against a known hardening guide
• you need per-user-account configuration checks with optional automatic fixes
• you want a customizable baseline via your own H config file

When to avoid

• you need Linux or Windows hardening checks
• you require actively maintained tooling for recent macOS versions, since the last release was in 2019
• you need continuous monitoring rather than a one-off audit
