Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-268068r1042535_chk)

This check procedure is performed on the device management tool and the device. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the iOS management tool, verify the following controls are set to Disable (the text may vary, depending on the UEM/MDM product): -Allow External Intelligence Integrations -Allow External Intelligence Integrations Sign In On the iPhone/iPad (Apple Intelligence capable device only): 1. Settings >> Apple Intelligence & Siri >> ChatGPT. 2. Verify “ChatGPT” is grayed out and disabled. If ChatGPT and other external AI app connections are not disabled in the management tool or are not grayed out and disabled on the iPhone/iPad, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-71895r1042534_fix)

Install a configuration profile to disable ChatGPT and other external AI app connections for Apple Intelligence. -Set allowExternalIntelligenceIntegrations to False -Set allowExternalIntelligenceIntegrationsSignIn to False
