I am struggling to remember the details and will have to re-check but if
you are worried about intels debug port then I *think* it may suffice
to disable the USB3 ports or controller in the bios. The congatec
skylake bios atleast allows you to disable particular ports. OEMs may
hide this bios option from you though. I believe access via PCI-EX will
vary per board.

I assume their aim is to raise the bar for easier detection but
protecting a physically unprotected computer isn't possible.
