Jamf Pro

Proofroom reads Jamf Pro through the Jamf Pro API with an API client (client credentials). Add it on Integrations → Catalogue → Jamf → Connect.

What each collector shows

Collector Kind Default cadence What it shows Suggested controls
Device inventory with encryption snapshot monthly Every managed device with its user, platform, OS version, last check-in and disk encryption (FileVault on the boot volume for Macs; data protection for iPhones and iPads). Devices not encrypted come first. PCI DSS 12.5.1; SOC 2 CC6.1, CC6.7
Operating system versions snapshot monthly Each device’s OS version against your minimum for its platform, or, with no minimum, the newest version seen on that platform. Without a minimum the evidence shows drift, not patching: the headline says so and PCI DSS 6.3.3 is suggested only once you set minimums. PCI DSS 6.3.3 (with minimums); SOC 2 CC7.1
Screen lock snapshot quarterly Whether each iPhone and iPad has a passcode set. Jamf Pro keeps no per-Mac screen-lock setting in its inventory, so Macs show unknown; prove the Mac lock with the configuration profile that sets it. This shows a password is set, not how soon the device locks when idle, so it is not suggested for PCI DSS 8.2.8. SOC 2 CC6.1
Devices not checking in snapshot monthly Devices not seen for 30 days (or the number you set). Their encryption, updates and screen lock can no longer be confirmed. PCI DSS 12.5.1; SOC 2 CC7.1

The connection also takes staleDays (30 by default) and, optionally, minimumOsVersions: one line per platform, such as macOS 15.6, Windows 10.0.26100 or iOS 18.6. A configured minimum wins over one read from the system. Without a minimum, a platform is compared with the newest version seen on any of its devices, which shows drift but not whether a version is still supported.

Disk encryption is mapped to SOC 2 CC6.1 and CC6.7, not to PCI DSS 3.5.1: PCI DSS accepts disk-level encryption for stored card numbers only on removable media (3.5.1.2), so laptop encryption is not evidence for 3.5.1.

The device inventory also feeds the Endpoint coverage built-in (computers without endpoint protection, leavers’ devices), the Endpoints posture score, and a risk suggestion when devices in use are not encrypted (Admin → Risks → Raised automatically).

FileVault reads “not finished” while a Mac is still encrypting or waits for a restart. Proofroom never reads recovery keys.

Create the API client

  1. In Jamf Pro, go to Settings → System → API roles and clients → API Roles → New. Name it “Proofroom (read only)” and add the privileges Read Computers and, for iPhones and iPads, Read Mobile Devices. Save.
  2. Open API Clients → New. Name it “Proofroom”, assign the role, set Enable API client on, and save.
  3. Click Generate client secret and copy the Client ID and Client secret; the secret is shown once.

A role added to or removed from a client needs a new client secret before it takes effect.

Connect

Field Value
Jamf Pro address Such as https://example.jamfcloud.com (an on-premises server must be reachable over https from this Proofroom server)
Client ID, Client secret From step 3
includeMobileDevices On by default; needs Read Mobile Devices
staleDays, minimumOsVersions See above

Test connection gets a token and reads one computer (and one mobile device), naming the privilege to add for any that is refused.

Known limits

  • Computers are read from /api/v4/computers-inventory. A server without v4 (older Jamf Pro) answers 404 and v3 is used instead.
  • The token is fetched from /api/v1/oauth/token; /api/oauth/token is tried if that answers 404.
  • UNVERIFIED: the largest page size Jamf allows is not documented; Proofroom asks for 200 at a time.
