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-276986r1134396_chk)

Review configuration settings to confirm that the use of assistants has been disabled. This check procedure is performed on the device management tool and the Google Android 15 device. On the MDM console: COBO and COPE: 1. Open user restrictions. 2. Verify that "Disallow assist content" is enabled. 3. Verify that the Gemini App in the Managed Google Play Store has not been added to the allowlist. On the managed Google Android 15 device: 1. Try to invoke the Google Assistant and note that it will not execute. 2. Verify that the Gemini app is not installed and is not listed in the Managed Google Play Store. If the use of assistants has not been disabled, this is a finding. Note: This control also disables Gemini from being invoked if it was previously installed.

Fix Text (F-81046r1134395_fix)

Configure the Google Android 15 device to disable the use of all assistants. On the MDM console, do the following: COBO and COPE: 1. Open user restrictions. 2. Enable "Disallow assist content". 3. Do not allowlist the Gemini App in the Managed Google Play Store. Note: This control also disables Gemini from being invoked if it was previously installed.
