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-256559r991589_chk)

At the command line, run the following command: # stat -c "%n permissions are %a and owned by %U:%G" /etc/skel/.[^.]* Expected result: /etc/skel/.bash_logout permissions are 750 and owned by root:root /etc/skel/.bash_profile permissions are 644 and owned by root:root /etc/skel/.bashrc permissions are 750 and owned by root:root If the output does not match the expected result, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-60177r887350_fix)

At the command line, run the following commands: # chmod 750 /etc/skel/.bash_logout # chmod 644 /etc/skel/.bash_profile # chmod 750 /etc/skel/.bashrc # chown root:root /etc/skel/.bash_logout # chown root:root /etc/skel/.bash_profile # chown root:root /etc/skel/.bashrc
