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-271784r1184219_chk)

Verify OL 9 configures assigned home directories of all local interactive users to have a mode of "0750" or less permissive with the following command: Note: This may miss interactive users that have been assigned a privileged user identifier (UID). Evidence of interactive use may be obtained from a number of log files containing system logon information. $ sudo ls -ld $(awk -F: '($3>=1000)&&($7 !~ /nologin/){print $6}' /etc/passwd) drwxr-x--- 2 disauser admin 4096 Jun 5 12:41 disauser If home directories referenced in "/etc/passwd" do not have a mode of "0750" or less permissive, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-75741r1184218_fix)

Change the mode of interactive user's home directories to "0750" using the following command: Note: The example will be for the user "disauser". $ sudo chmod 0750 /home/disauser
