It is almost the same as what is called out for by OSPP-4.2. Which you can
see here:

https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-userspace/blob/master/rules/30-ospp-v42.rules

AFAICS, CNSSI 1253 also wants accesses of configuration files. I would say that
is ill-advised. You may want failures due to permissions in accessing files.
But with a lot of subsystems putting configuration in /usr/lib/ how do you
tell what to monitor and what is applications? I'd say treat config files as
any other file because they are too spread out and accessed constantly, like
$HOME/.bashrc
