I also suppose that it is obvious, but because no one has really stated it,
I'd like to add:

This information is very sensitive (especially if you use the /s switch and
get the SAM information to be in the repair directory. It is critical that
the ACLs on all directories containing this information are set
appropriately. The more locations that have this information, the more
places that you have to secure with tight ACLs.

IIRC, Administrator: Change(RXWD), System: Full Control(RXWDPO) is the
setting you want on these directories, but your network and support
structures may require additional entries.
