Description
The use of security policy filters provides protection for the confidentiality of data by restricting the flow of data. A crucial part of any flow control solution is the ability to configure policy filters. This allows the operating system to enforce multiple and different security policies. Policy filters serve to enact and enforce the organizational policy as it pertains to controlling data flow.

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.

From the ACF Command Screen enter: SET LID LIST IF(AUDIT) If all logonids with the attributes AUDIT and/or CONSULT also do not have the SCPLIST attribute specified properly according to job function and areas of responsibility, this is a finding. NOTE: SCPLST attributes are not required for Logonids with the attributes AUDIT or CONSULT if the security ISSM/ISSO determines it requires ability to view the entire ACF2 environment. SCPLST attributes are not required for Auditors, Domain Level Security Admin Logonids, and BATCH Logonids that review the entire ACF2 environment to include GSO records, data set and resource rules, etc. or run audit reports.

Fix Text (F-25133r504535_fix)

Configure logonids with the AUDIT or CONSULT attributes are restricted by a SCPLIST attribute that restricts authority based on job function and area of responsibility. The following user attributes allow viewing of the ACF2 databases for the purpose of inspecting users, data set access rules, and Infostorage records. When granted to a logonid, restrict the scope of the following attributes using an associated SCPLIST (scope list) record: AUDIT CONSULT NOTE: SCPLST attributes are not required for Logonids with the attributes AUDIT or CONSULT if the security ISSM/ISSO determines it requires ability to view the entire ACF2 environment. SCPLST attributes are not required for Auditors, Domain Level Security Admin Logonids, and BATCH Logonids that review the entire ACF2 environment to include GSO records, data set and resource rules, etc. or run audit reports.
