Just thought this may help others with this issue. I just bought my new 16" MacBook Pro and was having difficulty setting up Apple Pay on this laptop and got this message : Apple Pay has been disabled because the security settings of this Mac were modified. I checked all the security settings and all were as suggested but after hours of searching for an answer I decided to go to Software Update/Advanced and uncheck the recheck "Install system data files and security updates". Next time I went to Wallet and clicked the box both my credit cards loaded and now I have successfully set up my Apple Pay. Has anyone else tried this? It certainly worked for me

A restart was necessary for me as well. To be perfectly clear, here’s what I did:

Open System Prefs → Software Update
Click Advanced…
Uncheck “Install system data files and security updates“ (all others checked)
A dialog appears asking me to authorize w/Touch ID; do that
Reboot
System Prefs → Software Update → Advanced… again
Recheck “Install system data files and security updates“ (all others still checked)
Go to System Prefs → Wallet & Apple Pay
Previously authorized cards now available again
