Description
This policy setting controls whether replies and forwards to signed/encrypted mail should also be signed/encrypted. If you enable this policy setting, signing/encryption will be turned on when replying/forwarding a signed or encrypted message, even if the user is not configured for SMIME. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, signing/encryption is not enforced.

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.

Verify the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Outlook 2016 -> Security -> Cryptography "Replies or forwards to signed/encrypted messages are signed/encrypted" is set to "Enabled". Procedure: Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key: HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\outlook\security Criteria: If the value NoCheckOnSessionSecurity is REG_DWORD = 1, this is not a finding.
