Who does this work

5 NICE work roles and 5 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.

Verify the policy value for User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Microsoft Office 2016 >> Privacy >> Trust Center >> "Configure the level of client software diagnostic data sent by Office to Microsoft" is set to "Enabled", and "Neither" from the Options is selected. Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key: HKCU\software\policies\Microsoft\office\common\clienttelemetry If the value "SendTelemetry" is "REG_DWORD = 3", this is not a finding. If the registry key does not exist or is not configured properly, this is a finding.
