Approximate DDM Update Deadline

Simple Security Check 3.6 - Approximate DDM Update Deadline

Simple Security Check 3.6 (Build 14) adds an optional approximate update-deadline clock for each saved SimpleMDM API-key alias.

What is new

• Configure a separate days-after-release value and enforcement time for each SimpleMDM client.
• Resolve the target latest-minor macOS update against its SOFA release date.
• Show a live compact clock in Devices, including remaining, past-due, current, and unknown states.
• Show the target macOS version, resolved approximate deadline, and detailed remaining time in Device Inspector.
• Preserve API-key settings created by earlier releases when no deadline policy exists.

Configure a client

1. Open Settings in Simple Security Check.
2. Click the pencil beside the client's API-key alias.
3. Enable Calculate from SOFA release date.
4. Enter the client's deadline days and enforcement time, then save.
5. Open Devices to see the compact clock. Select a device to see the resolved date in Device Inspector.

Important boundary

The app does not read a Declarative Device Management declaration or enforcement status from SimpleMDM. The operator enters the policy that belongs to each API-key alias; SOFA supplies only the matching update release date.

The configured time is calculated and displayed in the administrator Mac's current time zone. A managed Mac may enforce according to its own local time zone. The result is intentionally labelled approximate.
