# requiresSIP

A Boolean value that indicates whether System Integrity Protection (SIP) must be enabled to start an assessment.

```
var requiresSIP: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

When set to `true`, the assessment session will only start if System Integrity Protection is enabled on the device. Defaults to `false`.

> Important: The framework can’t reliably detect whether SIP is enabled on systems where the user has administrator privileges, so setting `requiresSIP` to `true` may not block a session when SIP is in fact disabled. It also doesn’t indicate whether the system was modified while SIP was previously disabled.

> SeeAlso: ``doc://com.apple.automaticassessmentconfiguration/documentation/AutomaticAssessmentConfiguration/AEAssessmentConfiguration`` for the limits that apply to every enablement requirement.
