A great deal of effort has been put in by people at cisecurity.org in creating tools to do just what you are looking for. There is a spreadsheet of security guidelines, as well as the Unix bash commands that will allow you to check for compliance. They even have a compliance tool that you can customize and run against your systems. I recommend checking their material out. For purpose of full disclosure, I am a member of the working group for Mac OS X security guidelines.
p.s. This looks like a direct quote from the 18 Aug 2011 DISA STIG, are you actively working on this project?

-root Draw on the root window.
-preset <arg>
