Description
For virtual desktop implementations (VDIs) where the virtual desktop instance is deleted or refreshed upon logoff, the organization must enforce that sessions be terminated within 24 hours. This would ensure any data stored on the VM that is not encrypted or covered by Credential Guard is deleted.

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.

Check Text (C-253295r958552_chk)

Verify there is a documented policy or procedure in place that nonpersistent VM sessions do not exceed 24 hours. If the system is NOT a nonpersistent VM, this is Not Applicable. For Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) implementations with no data at rest, this is Not Applicable. If there is no such documented policy or procedure in place, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-56698r890451_fix)

Set nonpersistent VM sessions to not exceed 24 hours.
