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-269215r1050097_chk)

Note: This may miss interactive users that have been assigned a privileged user identifier (UID). Evidence of interactive use may be obtained from a number of log files containing system logon information. Verify the assigned home directory of all local interactive users has a mode of "0750" or less permissive with the following command: $ ls -ld $(awk -F: '($3>=1000)&&($7 !~ /nologin/){print $6}' /etc/passwd) drwx------. 2 simon simon 83 Nov 30 12:30 /home/simon drwx------. 2 test test 83 Jan 19 14:18 /home/test drwx------. 2 test testdupe 62 Jan 15 11:44 /home/testdupe If home directories referenced in "/etc/passwd" do not have a mode of "0750" or less permissive, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-73147r1048022_fix)

Change the mode of interactive user's home directories to "0750". To change the mode of a local interactive user's home directory, use the following command: Note: The example will be for the user "test". $ chmod 0750 /home/test
