Description
A major tool in exploring the website use, attempted use, unusual conditions, and problems are the access and error logs. In the event of a security incident, these logs can provide the system administrator (SA) and the web manager with valuable information. Failure to protect log files could enable an attacker to modify the log file data or falsify events to mask an attacker's activity.

Who does this work

7 NICE work roles and 7 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.

Click the "Security" tab. Verify log file access is restricted as follows. Otherwise, this is a finding. SYSTEM - Full Control, This folder, subfolders and files Administrators - Full Control, This folder, subfolders and files (Lower permission levels are permitted) Note: A "Web Administrators", etc., type group that is an approved group of administrators is also allowed and must be given "Full Control, This folder, subfolders and files" permissions. (Lower permission levels are permitted.)
