Enhanced diagnostic data must be limited to the minimum required to support Windows Analytics.

Description
Some features may communicate with the vendor, sending system information or downloading data or components for the feature. Limiting this capability will prevent potentially sensitive information from being sent outside the enterprise. The "Enhanced" level for telemetry includes additional information beyond "Security" and "Basic" on how Windows and apps are used and advanced reliability data. Windows Analytics can use a "limited enhanced" level to provide information such as health data for devices.

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.

Check Text (C-253392r991589_chk)

If "Enhanced" level is enabled for telemetry, this must be configured. If "Security" or "Basic" are configured, this is NA. (See WN11-CC-000205). If the following registry value does not exist or is not configured as specified, this is a finding: Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path: \SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection\ Value Name: LimitEnhancedDiagnosticDataWindowsAnalytics Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0x00000001 (1)

Fix Text (F-56795r829259_fix)

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Data Collection and Preview Builds >> "Limit optional diagnostic data for Windows Analytics" to "Enabled" with "Enable Desktop Analytics collection" selected in "Options:".
