If you are a beginner macOS user and you don't know how to boost your Mac's security, or even if you are a security-conscious one who just needs a few recommendations on how to improve his Mac's security configuration, there are now software tools that can help you out.

To be more exact, SimpleumCheck might be the tool you need for such a task seeing that it is straightforward and easy to use app designed to check more than seventy security parameters and give you recommendations on what needs to be changed to increase your Mac's overall security.

If you are curious, you can find a detailed list of all the security checks available in the current release by going to the SimpleumCheck Rules repository on GitHub.

Once you launch SimpleumCheck on your computer, you will be asked to install an app helper which is needed to execute the security settings scans. It is necessary to mention that you might also be required to install a new version of SimpleumCheck's helper when you update the app.

Once it starts to review your Mac's security settings, SimpleumCheck will display a progress bar to let you know how much of the scanning process it still has to perform, as well as the parameter it is currently scanning.

SimpleumCheck will separate its recommendations into three different levels of importance: basic ones which are meant to help you toughen your Mac's security, professional for hints intended for people who use their computers in a business environment, and paranoid for advice reserved to those willing to sacrifice functionality over enhanced security.

Although you can go through all the issues and problems SimpleumCheck detects and follow the steps necessary to fix them, you have to keep in mind that some of the hints might head to a loss of operating system functionality.

In the end, it's all about following as many of the recommendations as possible to increase the system's security, while also making sure that you are comfortable with the extra level of restrictions imposed by them.

It is also important to mention that SimpleumCheck does not make it possible to enable its recommendation with a mouse click. However, you can go to a page which explains what each of the hints is supposed to do to increase your Mac's security, as well as what to do to enable it by clicking on the "Learn More" link next to each of the results.

All things considered, downloading and using SimpleumCheck on your Mac is the thing to do if you are concerned about your computer's security and you want to customize its security settings to better protect both your data.
