I am experimenting with Compliance in Jamf Pro. I setup CIS lvl 1 monitoring as a start and without any Azure connection. But somehow it keeps giving the error: “Management settings deployment failed”. We run 43 Macbooks, all rolled-out with DEP and correct registered in Jamf (and Protect). Any idea?

Hello there !
I had the same issue this week and I may have an answer for you. I worked with the support on this one. On my side the fail was caused by my scope :
To this day, compliance benchmarks aren’t compatible with smart or static groups that are linked to a Site.
Make sure your targeted group isn’t linked to any Site.
The "Management settings deployment failed" error with Compliance Benchmarks is most likely caused by one of the following requirements not being met:
SSO Authentication Required You must be logged into Jamf Pro using Jamf Account SSO (OIDC authentication) - either with a Jamf ID or your IdP credentials configured in Jamf Account. This is separate from Azure/Intune integration and is mandatory for Compliance Benchmarks to function.
Since you've confirmed SSO is configured and your Jamf Pro + Protect integration is working, but you're still getting "Management settings deployment failed", this is likely a backend service issue that requires Jamf Support investigation.
it sounded illogical, but it was indeed the solution. Created a new and dedicated static group for it, did not select the site, selected that as target and it worked!
