For security reasons, Storage Protect components should use file access rights 750 (DORA)

Resulting from DORA, customer Finance Informatik needs to improve operational resilience.

From Wikipedia: 
"The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), officially Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 is a European Union regulation. It requires financial entities to improve their digital operational resilience. ..."

After installation of Storage Protect software, we see on AIX OS level, that all files installed by Storage Protect show access rights 755 (read+execute others). 
New customer regulation require reducing file access rights to 750 (no rights for others).

Because of this, customer requires that Storage Protect compontens/ packages do not install all files and diretories with file access rights 755 but with file access rights 750 or less rights. 
This request is valid for all Storage Protect components installable on Unix systems.
