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-276201r1115672_chk)

Review configuration settings to confirm Siri is disabled. Exception: Siri is allowed if used to meet Section 508 compliance requirements. Note: This control may not be configurable by some MDM products when "Allow Siri" is disabled. This is a supervised-only control. If the iPhone or iPad being reviewed is not supervised by the MDM, this control is automatically a finding. If the iPhone or iPad being reviewed is supervised by the MDM, follow these procedures: This check procedure is performed on both the device management tool and the iPhone and iPad 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/iPadOS management tool, verify "Show user-generated content in Siri" or "Allow Siri" is unchecked. On the iPhone/iPad device: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General". 3. Tap "VPN & Device Management". 4. Tap the Configuration Profile from the iOS management tool containing the restrictions policy. 5. Tap "Restrictions". 6. Verify "Show user-generated content in Siri not allowed" or "Siri not allowed" is listed. If "Show user-generated content in Siri" is not disabled or Siri is not disabled in the management tool and on the Apple device, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-80260r1115671_fix)

Install a configuration profile to disable "Show user-generated content in Siri" unless required to meet Section 508 compliance requirements. This is a supervised-only control. Note: This control may not be configurable by some MDM products when "Allow Siri" is disabled.
