I'm not an English teacher, so I probably got > the terms all wrong. I changed 'does' to 'do'. Actually, the subject is "each", which is singular. I'm pretty sure Michael is right on this one. The prepositional phrase "of the security profiles" confuses things a bit. A trick that my seventh-grade English teacher Mrs. Cantrell taught me was to take out the prepositional phrase (which is optional in a structural sense anyways) and see if the sentence still seems correct...in this case, "each [...] does" vs. "each [...] do".
