No, it is not.

You can use the host profiles to provide an automated and centrally managed for host configuration.

Hey, hope you are doing fine:
Check here https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-67-host-profiles-guide.pdf

Select Edit Host Profile, and click Security and Services.

Also, to apply the host profile keep in mind that the host should be in maintenance mode.
