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-261292r996354_chk)

Verify that all SLEM 5 local initialization files have a mode of "740" or less permissive with the following command: Note: The example will be for the user "smithj", who has a home directory of "/home/smithj". > sudo ls -al /home/smithj/.* | more -rw-r-x---- 1 smithj users 896 Mar 10 2011 .profile -rw-r-x---- 1 smithj users 497 Jan 6 27 .login -rw-r-x---- 1 smithj users 886 Jan 6 27 .something If any local initialization files have a mode more permissive than "740", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-64929r995742_fix)

Set the mode of SLEM 5 local initialization files to "740" with the following command: Note: The example will be for the smithj user, who has a home directory of "/home/smithj". > sudo chmod 740 /home/smithj/.<INIT_FILE>
