Dictation must be disabled on Intel-based Macs as the feature On Device Dictation is only available on Apple Silicon devices.
Audit:
For Apple Silicon-based systems, this is not applicable.
Verify the macOS system is configured to disable dictation with the following command:
/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowDictation').js
EOS
If the result is not "false", this is a finding.
Remediation:
Configure the macOS system to disable dictation by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile with 'allowDictation' key set to false
Parameter:
[Yes/No]
Technical Mechanism:
Configure the macOS system to disable dictation by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile with 'allowDictation' key set to false
