A score is the starting point.
Hardening changes a Mac’s security configuration. cybee scores against 118 CIS Benchmark checks. Applying and maintaining supported hardening is part of the paid plan.
Separate checking from changing
| Check | Harden |
|---|---|
| Shows how settings compare with the benchmark | Changes supported settings after the required confirmation |
| Free posture score | Paid application and ongoing hardening |
| A finding can remain open | The outcome needs to be checked after the change |
Three hardening profiles allow settings to suit each employee. Confirm their names and included settings before rollout. Checks use the public CIS Benchmark; cybee has no formal relationship with CIS.
Review the whole change
Understand the gap
Read the observed setting and the reason it matters. Keep an unassessed check distinct from a failed check.
Choose the affected scope
A setting for one employee does not automatically suit everyone. Review which device and profile the change concerns.
Confirm and check the outcome
After the required approval, inspect the resulting setting. A requested change and a verified outcome are different events.
Show the hardening changes proposed for this Mac. Explain their effect on my work before I confirm them.
A small change, made explicit
Illustrative workflow. No device is connected.
This example explains the workflow. It does not define a released profile or recommend the same setting for every employee.
Keep the configuration in view
Ongoing hardening corrects settings that move away from the chosen profile. Check both the last observation and how long the setting has held.
Hardening is reversible. Before confirming a change, ask how it affects your work and how to undo it.
What changes when payment stops
Applied hardening stays in place, but ongoing repair of drift stops. After the grace period the account returns to the free tier. The length of that grace period needs confirmation before billing terms are final.
The paid plan is 9 per Mac per month, or 90 per year, in CHF, EUR or USD. Taxes are added separately.
