Anything in sshd's startup that could change umask e.g. /etc/sshd.conf.
None of init, systemd, nor cygrunsrv require shells, so /etc/profile is
out.

Default ACLs are applied to directories or files created in that directory,
modified by creation options, or later commands.

What file transfer client are they using?
You said ssh, so I assumed scp, -p retains permissions and timestamps.
