Data sets
Click Data sets and select one of the following reports to display information about sensitive data sets:
- Non-Fully Qualified Generic > APF
- Non-Fully Qualified Generic > Other
- Sensitive Data Sets > Other datasets with ID(*) Access > None
- Sensitive Data Sets > Uncatalogued
- APF Data Sets > APF datasets with ID(*) Access > None
- APF Data Sets > APF libraries with inappropriate logging
- APF Data Sets > APF libraries with no */NOACCESS entry
Non-Fully Qualified Generic > APF
The APF Data Sets without Fully Qualified Generic profile report lists sensitive data sets that are specified as Authorized Program Facility (APF) libraries and are protected by a generic security profile (for example, SYS1.**) or have no security profile defined (*Unprotected*). Executable code within these data sets can perform sensitive system functions and has access to sensitive data.
Assign unprotected data sets a security profile to make sure that only authorized users have access. Review generic profiles to make sure they grant appropriate access to the data sets.

The z/OS.SETPROG Commands report lists all z/OS.SETPROG commands issued in the system, who issued the command, and related information. Use this information to review the impact of the SETPROG commands on critical system configuration, security, stability, and performance. A decline in these factors can occur because of unauthorized changes to the APF list, incorrect LPA modifications, enabling or disabling of protection of REFR programs, incorrect tracking settings of directed load modules, and so on.
As a security administrator, you can rely on this report to monitor authorized changes and prevent unauthorized modifications.

Missing Profiles > OPERCMD
The Missing OPERCMD Profiles report identifies profiles associated with the OPERCMD resource class that are missing or not properly defined. Use this information to identify and review inadequately configured OPERCMD profiles, define and configure the required profiles, and assign appropriate access and permissions to only users authorized for each action.
As a security administrator, you can address security concerns arising out of unauthorized access to critical system commands.
System | Class | Profile | Purpose | Recommended |
---|---|---|---|---|
TSOP | OPERCMDS | MVS.SET.PROG.** | Modify APF Libraries | Access must be limited to authorized personnel only. Preferably only accessible via PAM ids. Should have UACC(NONE) and AUDIT(SUC(READ) FAIL(READ)) |
Column | Description |

PURPOSE | Purpose of the ACF2 profile |
RECOMMENDED | BMC recommendations |
Missing Profiles > STGADMIN
The Missing STGADMIN Profiles report lists storage administration profiles in the FACILITY and XFACILIT classes related to the STGADMIN resource class that are absent or incorrectly set up. Use this information to verify that STGADMIN profiles are properly defined and that storage administration tasks are restricted to authorized personnel only. Defining and configuring these profiles reduces the need for superuser authority and minimizes security risks.
As a security administrator, you can ensure that storage management functions, such as compression, ACL overrides, and changing permissions, are protected and secure.
System | Class | Profile | Purpose | Recommended |
---|---|---|---|---|
TSOP | FACILITY | STGADMIN.ADR.CONVERTV | Convert VTOC to SMS | Require READ access to use. Restrict access to this |
TSOP | FACILITY | STGADMIN.ADR.COPY.BYPASSACS | Copy data sets bypassing ACS routines | Require READ access to use. Restrict access to this |

Missing Profiles > UNIXPRIV
The Missing UNIXPRIV Profiles report lists profiles with z/OS UNIX privileges related to the UNIXPRIV resource class that are missing or misconfigured. Use this information to validate that UNIXPRIV profiles are correctly set up.
This ensures proper access control for UNIX-related resources. You can create user profiles without superuser authority and grant them specific privileges using these UNIXPRIV profiles with fine granularity. This enhances security of your mainframe environment by ensuring user privileges are granted only where necessary.
As a security administrator, you can ensure controlled access to superuser-level actions, such as changing ownership or managing ACLs. You can activate and inactivate the UNIXPRIV class and define profiles with the necessary permissions to authorized UNIX administrators.
System | Class | Profile | Purpose | Recommended |
---|---|---|---|---|
TSOP | UNIXPRIV | SUPERUSER.IPC.RMID | Release IPC resources (ipcrm) | Require READ access to use. Limit to UNIX processes/debuggers |
TSOP | UNIXPRIV | SUPERUSER.PROCESS.KILL | Issue kill to processes | Require READ access to use. Limit to UNIX processes/debuggers |

Missing Profiles > Certificate
The Missing Certificate Profiles report lists RACF certificate management-related profiles in the FACILITY class, which are not defined. It includes all the recommended general resource profiles related to digital certificates that are not defined to RACF. Use this information to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to commands used to store and maintain digital certificate information in RACF.
As a security administrator, you can ensure that digital certificate information is stored securely without any unauthorized access or change attempts.
System | Class | Profile | Recommended Setting |
---|---|---|---|
TSOP | FACILITY | IRR.DIGTCERT.** | Set UACC/ID(*) to NONE. READ allows users to issue the RACDCERT commands for themselves, UPDATE for others and CONTROL for SITE and CERTAUTH certificates |

Allowlists
Many of the SPM queries can exclude results by using allowlists. Allowlists are defined in the index member of the rules data set and consist of exceptions that can be used to prevent specific users or resources from being reported on as non-compliant.
For example, if only one user ID is allowed to update APF libraries, then an allowlist containing that one user ID can be defined, and the compliance query can specify a clause such as:
AND userid NOT IN (SELECT userid FROM allowlist WHERE type='APF')
The allowlist defined would be:
Allowlist APF
TSGAPF Userid allowed to update APF data sets.
For an example of the allowlist, see Sample-index-member.
Compliance Reports
Select Overview to see the Compliance Overview dashboard that is described in Logging-on-and-viewing-compliance-summaries.
Select All to see all the compliance reports defined on the system, including all policies contained in the index member, their last run time, next run time, and result of the run. For more information, see "Examining all compliance reports" and "To run individual reports" in Logging-on-and-viewing-compliance-summaries.
Select one of the following report categories:
- DISA STIG
- z/OS
- DB2
- RACF (RACF users, only)
- TSS (TSS users, only)
- USS
- TCP/IP
- CICS
- REXX
- (SPE2410)CIS RACF (RACF users, only)
- (SPE2501)PCI DSS RACF (RACF users, only)
The list of categories might change, depending on your system configuration.
If you add a custom category to the HLQ.RULES(INDEX) member and update the rules with the /f stc, loadrules command (or restart the product), the custom category is displayed in the Compliance menu and the All Compliance Reports table. For an example of the index member, see Sample-index-member.
