NEW QUESTION # 57
Dwayne is the Lead Assessor for a C3PAO Assessment Team conducting an assessment for an OSC. During the evaluation, he learns that the OSC recently won a lucrative contract with the Department of Defense, a significant milestone for the organization. Impressed by the OSC's accomplishment, Dwayne begins to view the organization more favorably and is inclined to interpret the evidence gathered during the assessment in a way that would enable the OSC to achieve the desired CMMC certification level. What is the primary reason Dwayne's assessment of the OSC may be influenced?
- A. Time constraints
- B. Lack of experience
- C. Bias
- D. Incomplete understanding of the CMMC requirements
Answer: C
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation:
Dwayne's favorable view of the OSC due to its recent DoD contract success exemplifies positive bias, a key concern in the CMMC Assessment Process (CAP). Bias influences how evidence is interpreted, potentially leading to overly favorable assessments that overlook noncompliances. The CAP requires assessors to evaluate practices objectively within the OSC's context, free from external factors like contract wins, to maintain assessment integrity.
Option A (incomplete understanding) assumes a knowledge gap not indicated here. Option B (time constraints) and Option C (lack of experience) are unrelated to Dwayne's described behavior. Option D (bias) directly addresses the influence of his positive perception, making it the correct answer per CAP guidelines.

NEW QUESTION # 58
An assessor is examining an organization's system maintenance program. While reviewing the system maintenance policy and the OSC's maintenance records for the CUI network, the assessor notices there is no mention of printers. The assessor asks the IT manager if the company has any printers.
Why is the assessor concerned if the OSC has printers?
- A. Printers can produce hard copies of CUI data that need to be safeguarded.
- B. Firmware on a network printer needs to have updates as needed.
- C. Printers must be completely isolated from all non-CUI assets.
- D. Printers cannot be used on a CUI network without government approval.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Printers are a concern because they can produce hard copies of CUI, which must be safeguarded like digital CUI. CUI handling requirements extend to both electronic and printed media.
Extract from MP.L2-3.8.4:
"Protect the confidentiality of CUI at rest and in use, including hardcopy outputs such as printed material." Thus, the concern is that printed CUI must be protected, making printers relevant to maintenance and safeguarding practices.

NEW QUESTION # 59
A Lead Assessor and the OSC have been reviewing the scope. In preparing the final assessment scope, they disagree on some areas. After several days of attempting various solutions, they cannot find common ground.
What should the CCA recommend to the C3PAO?
- A. Inform the C3PAO that the OSC has failed the assessment.
- B. The C3PAO formally writes to the OSC to start CMMC scoping afresh.
- C. The assessment continues as they address the areas of contention.
- D. Halt the assessment until the assessment scope is verified.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
The CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) requires the Lead Assessor to validate the OSC's proposed scope before proceeding to Phase 2 (Conduct Assessment). Disagreements must be resolved to ensure accuracy and completeness, and the CAP stipulates halting the process if consensus cannot be reached. Option A is an escalation but not the immediate step. Option C risks an invalid assessment. Option D is premature, as scope disputes do not equate to failure. B is the correct recommendation per the CAP.
Reference:
CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) v1.0, Section 2.2 (Scope Validation), p. 9: "The assessment halts if the scope cannot be verified."
NEW QUESTION # 60
An OSC is undergoing a CMMC Level 2 assessment, and the C3PAO Assessment Team has identified several practices that the organization has not yet fully implemented. During the assessment, the CCA notes significant progress by the OSC towards implementing control MP.L2-3.8.4 - Media Markings, but acknowledges that not all required steps have been completed. The CCA explains to the OSC that this partially implemented practice will need to be tracked in theLimited Practice Deficiency Correction Program.
How should CMMC practices tracked under the Limited Practice Deficiency Correction Program be scored?
- A. Not Met
- B. Partially Met
- C. Met
- D. Not Applicable
Answer: A
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation:
Practices in the Limited Practice Deficiency Correction Program are scored 'Not Met' per CAP, as they are incomplete, not partially met (Option B), inapplicable (Option C), or met (Option D). Option A is correct.
Extract from Official Document (CAP v1.0):
* Section 2.3.2 - Deficiency Correction (pg. 28):"All practices tracked under the Limited Practice Deficiency Correction Program will be scored as 'NOT MET.'" References:
CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) v1.0, Section 2.3.2.
NEW QUESTION # 61
The Lead Assessor is planning to conduct an assessment for an OSC. The Assessor has been given a preliminary asset inventory list by the OSC. How would the Lead Assessor determine if any assets are out- of-scope for the assessment?
- A. All assets in an OSC's inventory fall within the scope of the assessment and, as such, should be assessed against the CMMC practices.
- B. Out-of-Scope Assets can process, store, or transmit CUI because they do not need to be physically or logically separated.
- C. None of the assets in an OSC's inventory fall within the scope of the assessment and, as such, should not be assessed against the CMMC practices.
- D. Assets cannot process, store, or transmit CUI because they are physically or logically separated from CUI assets, or they are inherently unable to do so.
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to the CMMC Scoping Guidance, assets are categorized based on whether they can process, store, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), or if they are physically/logically separated or inherently unable to interact with CUI systems. Assets that cannot process, store, or transmit CUI and are properly segregated are considered Out-of-Scope.
Extract from CMMC Scoping Guidance:
"Out-of-Scope assets are those that cannot process, store, or transmit CUI because they are physically or logically separated from CUI assets, or they are inherently unable to do so." Thus, the Lead Assessor determines out-of-scope assets by confirming that they are either segregated from CUI systems or technically incapable of handling CUI.
Reference: CMMC 2.0 Scoping Guidance for Level 2 Assessments (Official CCA documentation).
NEW QUESTION # 62
You are the Lead Assessor for a CMMC Assessment engagement with an OSC for CMMC Level 2. The OSC has provided you with their proposed CMMC Assessment Scope, which includes a network schematic diagram, their SSP, relevant policies, and organizational charts. During your review of the documentation, you notice they have excluded a subsidiary company's network and assets from the proposed CMMC Assessment Scope despite the subsidiary being involved in handling CUI related to federal contracts. If the OSC insists on excluding the subsidiary's network and assets from the CMMC Assessment Scope despite your recommendation to include them, what should you do?
- A. Include the subsidiary's network and assets in the CMMC Assessment Scope without the OSC' sconsent, as the Lead Assessor has the final authority to determine the scope.
- B. Escalate the issue to the CMMC Accreditation Body for further guidance and resolution.
- C. Proceed with the Assessment based on the OSC's proposed scope, as the OSC has the final authority to determine the scope.
- D. Terminate the Assessment engagement and take further steps to resolve the disagreements.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The CAP requires that disagreements over the CMMC Assessment Scope be resolved before proceeding, and if unresolvable, the Lead Assessor should terminate the engagement. Excluding CUI-handling assets like the subsidiary's network invalidates the scope, and proceeding (Option C) or forcing inclusion (Option D) violates CAP guidelines. Escalation to Cyber AB (Option B) is not a specified step unless further guidance is needed post-termination. Option A is the correct action per CAP.
Extract from Official Document (CAP v1.0):
* Section 1.4 - Define Assessment Scope (pg. 13):"If disagreement regarding the CMMC Assessment Scope cannot be resolved with the OSC, the Lead Assessor shall terminate the Assessment engagement." References:
CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) v1.0, Section 1.4.

- A. Suggest that they seek guidance from another Assessor.
- B. Politely refuse to provide any assistance and continue the assessment as planned.
- C. Provide guidance on how to answer questions to maximize the appearance of compliance.
- D. Offer to create documentation to cover gaps in their compliance.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The CoPC prohibits coaching or assisting during assessments to maintain objectivity (Option C). Options A, B, and D involve inappropriate assistance.
Extract from Official Document (CoPC):
* Paragraph 3.3(6) - Proper Use of Methods (pg. 7):"Do not provide guidance or assistance to OSC personnel during the assessment to influence responses." References:
CMMC Code of Professional Conduct, Paragraph 3.3(6).
NEW QUESTION # 64
The Assessment Team is meeting with the OSC team and experiences a situation where some members of the OSC team describe the IT infrastructure differently from others. In some discussions, one person identifies a series of ESPs, while another describes the infrastructure as on-premises. What should the Lead Assessor do to clarify the actual operational environment?
- A. Ask for the contact information of the identified ESPs
- B. Interview an authoritative OSC representative
- C. Review the system interconnection agreements
- D. Review the network diagrams
Answer: D
Explanation:
* Applicable Requirement (CAP - Scoping and Evidence Validation): When inconsistencies arise about the environment, assessors are required to examine objective artifacts that define boundaries, such as network diagrams and system architecture documentation.
* Why A is Correct: Network diagrams objectively show whether systems are hosted on-premises or involve ESPs (cloud, MSSPs, hosting providers). Reviewing them avoids ambiguity from inconsistent verbal descriptions.
* Why Other Options Are Insufficient:
* B: Interviewing another OSC representative may add to confusion rather than resolve it.
* C: Interconnection agreements confirm ESP relationships but do not resolve whether the OSC has on-prem or hybrid environments.
* D: Contacting ESPs directly is not part of the assessment process; OSC must provide evidence.

NEW QUESTION # 65
An OSC creates standard user accounts with limited capabilities and administrator accounts with full system access. A standard user initiates the uninstall of the anti-virus software, which is organizationally defined as a privileged function. Which of the following would indicate AC.L2-3.1.7: Privileged Functions is properly implemented?
- A. The antivirus software is not uninstalled, and the attempt is captured in an application audit log.
- B. The antivirus software is successfully uninstalled, and the event is captured in an application audit log.
- C. The antivirus software is successfully uninstalled.
- D. The antivirus software is not uninstalled.
Answer: A
Explanation:
* Applicable Requirement: AC.L2-3.1.7 - "Prevent non-privileged users from executing privileged functions and capture the execution of such functions in audit logs."
* Correct Interpretation:
* A non-privileged (standard) user should be prevented from performing privileged functions (e.
g., uninstalling security software).
* The attempt must be logged to provide traceability and support accountability.
* Why C is Correct: It demonstrates both prevention (software not uninstalled) and auditing (attempt captured in a log), exactly matching the practice.
Why Other Options Are Insufficient:
* A: Prevention is shown, but there is no evidence of logging.
* B: Function was not prevented, so requirement not met.
* D: Logging exists, but privileged action was not prevented.
References (CCA Official Sources):
* NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 - AC.L2-3.1.7

NEW QUESTION # 66
An Assessor is evaluating controls put in place by an OSC to restrict the use of privileged accounts. The Assessor interviews privileged users and confirms that the OSC has both a policy and specific procedures governing the use of privileged accounts for security functions. What else could the Assessor evaluate to validate the assertions made by the interviewed OSC staff?
- A. Examine the system architecture of the OSC to identify privileged accounts
- B. Test the processes for privileged accounts with privileged users
- C. Examine the procedure assigning privileged roles to non-privileged functions
- D. Test the processes for non-privileged accounts to perform privileged functions
Answer: A
Explanation:
For AC.L2-3.1.7 (Restrict Use of Privileged Accounts), it is not enough to rely on interviews or documented procedures. The assessor must also Examine technical evidence to ensure that privileged accounts exist as described and are properly controlled. Reviewing system architecture, account listings, and role assignments validates that privileged access aligns with policy and that inappropriate assignments do not exist.
Exact extracts:
* "Assessment Objectives ... Determine if: privileged accounts are identified; privileged functions are restricted to privileged accounts; and use of privileged accounts is monitored."
* "Assessment Methods - Examine: account management policy; system architecture documentation; system security plan; privileged account listings."
* "Assessment Methods - Test: attempt to use non-privileged accounts to execute privileged functions." Expanded explanation:
Assessors typically proceed in layers:
* Interview: Confirm staff knowledge of policy and practice.
* Examine: Verify account structures in system architecture or AD group membership lists. This ensures the number and type of privileged accounts match staff descriptions.
* Test (if required): Confirm that non-privileged users cannot perform privileged actions.
Why other options are incorrect:
* B: Testing non-privileged accounts is useful but is not the next immediate validation step after confirming policy/procedures. Examination comes first.
* C: This phrasing implies giving privileged roles to non-privileged functions, which would itself be a finding.
* D: Testing with privileged users verifies activity monitoring, but not whether privileged accounts are properly scoped.

NEW QUESTION # 67
An Assessment Team is holding a discussion with the system administrator at the OSC to understand their process for ensuring unauthorized users are not able to access CUI.
Which assessment method is being utilized?
- A. Interview method
- B. Observe method
- C. Examine method
- D. Test method
Answer: A
Explanation:
The CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) defines four methods: Examine, Interview, Test, and Observe.
* Interview Method: Involves discussions with personnel to gather evidence about the implementation of practices.
* In this case, the CCA is discussing with the system administrator to understand processes, which clearly aligns with the Interview method.
Extract:
"Interview: The assessor uses discussions with personnel to obtain evidence about how practices are implemented within the OSC's environment." Reference: CMMC Assessment Guide - Level 2; CMMC Assessment Process (CAP).
NEW QUESTION # 68
During a social event after work, a CCA from your C3PAO team brags about providing "consulting advice" to an OSC they recently assessed for CMMC compliance. You know this directly violates the CoPC's restrictions on CCAs offering such services during an assessment. What is your ethical obligation in this situation?
- A. Ignore the situation, as it doesn't involve you directly.
- B. Publicly confront the CCA and remind them of the CoPC violation.
- C. Immediately report the incident to the Cyber AB.
- D. Discreetly approach the CCA and offer to help them understand the CoPC guidelines.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The CoPC encourages internal resolution of violations before escalation, making Option B the ethical first step. Public confrontation (Option A) risks unprofessionalism, immediate reporting (Option C) skips internal correction, and ignoring (Option D) neglects duty. Providing advice during an assessment violates CoPC professionalism.
Extract from Official Document (CoPC):
* Paragraph 4.1(1)(a) - Violation Reporting (pg. 10):"Attempt to rectify the violation with the individual in question prior to reporting."
* Paragraph 3.1 - Professionalism (pg. 6):"Do not offer consulting advice during an assessment." References:
CMMC Code of Professional Conduct, Paragraphs 4.1(1)(a) and 3.1.
NEW QUESTION # 69
An OSC has contracted a C3PAO to perform a Level 2 Assessment. As the Lead Assessor is analyzing the assessment requirements, it is found that the OSC does not have a document detailing the assessment scope.
How can this problem BEST be fixed?
- A. The OSC and the Lead Assessor jointly create the document at the beginning of the assessment.
- B. The CCA tells the OSC they must provide the document before the assessment can begin.
- C. The Lead Assessor can regulate the assessment and create/adjust the document moving forward.
- D. The Assessment Team is supposed to generate the document before moving forward.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The OSC is responsible for providing the scoping documentation before the assessment begins. The assessor validates the scoping documentation but does not create it on behalf of the OSC. If the OSC cannot provide scope documentation, the assessment cannot proceed.
Exact Extracts:
* CMMC Scoping Guide: "The OSC must prepare and provide scoping documentation, including network diagrams, asset inventories, and SSP, prior to assessment."
* CMMC Assessment Guide: "The assessment team validates scoping documentation; it is not the responsibility of the C3PAO or assessor to create the OSC's scope." Why other options are not correct:
* A: Incorrect - assessment teams validate but do not generate scoping documents.
* C: Joint creation is not allowed; OSC must own and prepare documentation.
* D: Lead Assessor cannot create scope; must rely on OSC's provided documentation.

NEW QUESTION # 70
A company describes its organization as having two systems. One system, System Org, covers the entire organization and allows instant messaging, email, and Internet activity. The other system, System CUI, is used for processing, storing, and transmitting CUI data. System CUI interfaces with System Org through security mechanisms and a firewall.
The CMMC Assessment is being done on System CUI only.
What is the BEST way to describe System CUI?
- A. CUI Assets
- B. CUI Assets and Security Protection Assets
- C. Out-of-Scope Assets
- D. In-Scope Assets
Answer: A
Explanation:
Per the CMMC Scoping Guidance, CUI Assets are those that process, store, or transmit CUI. Since System CUI is the system handling CUI data, it must be categorized as CUI Assets.
Extract:
"CUI Assets are any assets that process, store, or transmit CUI. These assets are in-scope for assessment and must meet CMMC practice requirements." Thus, the best classification for System CUI is CUI Assets.
Reference: CMMC Scoping Guidance - CUI Assets.
NEW QUESTION # 71
An OSC employs guards to protect the manufacturing shop where the magnetic radar-absorbing coating is manufactured. The Army uses this specific coating for a particular fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The facility is under constant surveillance with the help of HD CCTVs. Within the OSC's facilities is a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) that measures the reflection and transmission properties of the coating over a range of frequencies. Guards protect the OSC's anechoic chamber, and anyone entering must use an iris scanner and sign a physical form detailing their name and reason for being there. At the door is a huge sign reading "Authorized Personnel Only." The OSC has implemented the following physical separation methods to secure its facilities, EXCEPT?
- A. Monitoring
- B. Signage
- C. Guards
- D. Biometric locks
Answer: A
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Physical separation methods physically restrict access, per NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC guidance. Signage (Option A), biometric locks (Option C), and guards (Option D) directly prevent entry. Monitoring via HD CCTVs (Option B) detects and records but does not physically separate, making it a security control, not a separation method. B is the exception.
Reference:
CMMC Assessment Scope - Level 2, Section 2.2 (Physical Security), p. 4: "Physical separation includes locks and guards, not monitoring alone."
NEW QUESTION # 72
FIPS-validated cryptography is required to meet CMMC practices that protect CUI when transmitted or stored outside the OSC's CMMC enclave. What source does the CCA use to verify that the cryptography the OSC has implemented is FIPS-validated?
- A. Cryptographic section of the Shared Responsibility Matrix
- B. NIST Module Validation Program
- C. Vendor cryptographic module documentation
- D. Cryptographic section of the OSC's SSP
Answer: B
Explanation:
The CMMC practices for cryptographic protection (SC.L2-3.13.11, SC.L2-3.13.8, etc.) require that cryptography protecting CUI must be FIPS-validated. The authoritative source for validation is the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP).
Extract:
"To use cryptography in compliance with CMMC requirements, organizations must use modules validated under the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP). The CMVP is the authoritative source to verify whether a cryptographic implementation is FIPS-validated." Vendor documentation or SSP claims alone cannot serve as authoritative proof. The CCA must consult the NIST CMVP validation list.
Reference: CMMC Assessment Guide - Level 2; SC.L2-3.13.11, SC.L2-3.13.8; CMVP Guidance.
NEW QUESTION # 73
CMMC practice PS.L2-3.9.1 - Screen Individuals requires individuals to be screened before authorizing access to organizational systems containing CUI. However, in the assessment you are currently conducting, there is no physical evidence confirming the completion of personnel screens, such as background checks, only affirmations derived from an interview session. In an interview with the HR Manager, they informed you that before an individual is hired, they submit their information through a service that performs criminal and financial checks. How would you score the OSC's implementation of CMMC practice PS.L2-3.9.1 - Screen Individuals, objective [a]?
- A. Met
- B. Not Applicable
- C. Not Met
- D. More information is needed
Answer: D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
PS.L2-3.9.1, objective [a], requires "screening individuals prior to authorizing access to CUI systems." The HR Manager's affirmation suggests a process, but without physical evidence (e.g., screening records), compliance can't be confirmed. More information (A) is needed to verify, per CMMC's evidence-based assessment. Met (D) requires proof, Not Met (B) assumes failure prematurely, and N/A (C) doesn't apply.
Extract from Official CMMC Documentation:
* CMMC Assessment Guide Level 2 (v2.0), PS.L2-3.9.1: "Examine screening records; interviews support but don't replace evidence."
* NIST SP 800-171A, 3.9.1: "Verify with documentation."

NEW QUESTION # 74
Jane is a CCA leading a CMMC assessment for an OSC. During the evaluation, Jane discovers that the OSC's Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is a former colleague with whom she had a contentious relationship in the past. Unbeknownst to the OSC, Jane still harbors resentment toward the CISO due to their previous conflicts. As the assessment progresses, Jane becomes increasingly critical of the CISO's security practices, scrutinizing every detail and finding fault despite the OSC's best efforts to demonstrate compliance.
Given this scenario, how can a Certified CMMC Assessor's personal bias impact the assessment of the OSC?
- A. Assessor bias is not a concern in CMMC assessments
- B. Personal bias may result in an unfairly harsh and critical assessment of the OSC
- C. Assessor bias has no effect on the assessment process and outcomes
- D. Assessor bias can lead to an overly lenient evaluation of the OSC
Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) warns that personal bias, like Jane's resentment, can skew evidence interpretation, leading to an unfairly harsh assessment. This negative bias contrasts with positive bias (Option D), which causes leniency. Jane's critical stance risks misrepresenting the OSC's compliance, undermining assessment integrity. Options A and B deny bias's documented impact, making Option C the correct answer per CAP.
Reference Extract:
* CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) v1.0, Section 2.3:"Negative bias may result in overly critical evaluations, compromising fairness."Resources:https://cyberab.org/Portals/0/Documents/Process- Documents/CMMC-Assessment-Process-CAP-v1.0.pdf
NEW QUESTION # 75
You are the Lead Assessor for a CMMC assessment of an OSC that has previously obtained ISO 27001 certification for its information security management system. During the initial discussions, the OSC requests that you consider their ISO 27001 certification and grant them credit toward their CMMC certification. They believe there is a significant overlap between CMMC and ISO 27001. What should your response to the OSC be?
- A. Inform the OSC that alternative cybersecurity certifications like ISO 27001 do not automatically bestow any status or credit towards CMMC certification.
- B. Verify the validity and authenticity of the OSC's ISO 27001 certification against the requirements outlined in the CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) before considering granting any non-duplication credit.
- C. Grant the OSC credit towards their CMMC certification based on their ISO 27001 certification, as both standards cover similar cybersecurity requirements.
- D. Defer the decision on non-duplication credit until the DoD publishes official non-duplication policies.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The CAP explicitly states that other certifications like ISO 27001 do not grant automatic CMMC credit unless DoD policy allows (Option C). Options A, B, and D suggest potential credit without basis.
Extract from Official Document (CAP v1.0):

NEW QUESTION # 76
An OSC is undergoing a CMMC Level 2 assessment. The assessment team is reviewing the evidence for configuration management procedures per CMMC Practice CM.L2-3.4.1 - System Baselining. The assessors discover that the OSC has a documented process for creating system baselines. However, upon reviewing a sample server, they find software installed that is not listed in the baseline documentation. The OSC acknowledges the discrepancy and explains that they recently deployed new security software but have not updated the baseline documentation yet. What is the Assessment Team's initial finding regarding the OSC's implementation of CM.L2-3.4.1 - System Baselining, and how should it be scored?
- A. NOT MET (Deduct 3 points)
- B. Not Applicable
- C. NOT MET (Deduct 5 points)
- D. NOT MET (Deduct 1 point)
Answer: C
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation:
CM.L2-3.4.1 requires maintaining updated baseline configurations. The unlisted software indicates failure to meet objectives [c], [d], and [f], making the practice 'NOT MET.' Per the DoD Scoring Methodology in CAP, a 'NOT MET' practice deducts its full point value (5 points for CM.L2-3.4.1). Options A and C assign incorrect points, and Option B (Not Applicable) is inappropriate as the practice applies.
Extract from Official Document (CAP v1.0):
* Section 2.5 - Scoring (pg. 30):"If any objectives are scored as 'NOT MET,' the entire practice is scored as 'NOT MET,' deducting the full point value per the DoD Scoring Methodology (5 points for CM.L2-
3.4.1)."

- A. Recommend that the OSC hire additional staff to expedite evidence collection.
- B. Agree to skip non-critical practices to accommodate the OSC's timeline.
- C. Explain that all practices must be assessed as required by the CMMC Assessment Process and cannot be skipped.
- D. Suggest that the OSC discuss the issue with the Lead Assessor to negotiate a reduced scope.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The CAP mandates assessing all practices, making Option A correct. Options B, C, and D violate CAP and CoPC standards.
Extract from Official Document (CAP v1.0):

NEW QUESTION # 78
An OSC plans to bid for a DoD contract to supply laser welding services to repair a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This requires them to be CMMC Level 2 certified since the information they will receive from the DoD is Controlled Technical Information (CTI). However,their repair and welding services require a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine to fabricate some crucial parts. Since the welding is mainly automated using robots, the OSC has intelligently integrated its SCADA system with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) for increased accuracy, improved safety and efficiency, and enhanced flexibility. As the Lead Assessor for the C3PAO Assessment Team validating the OSC's CMMC assessment scope, you expect the OSC to handle the SCADA system, PLCs, and CNC machines in all the following ways EXCEPT?
- A. Document these assets in the SSP to show they are managed using the OSC's risk-based security policies, procedures, and practices.
- B. Document these assets in the asset inventory.
- C. Categorize them as CUI assets.
- D. Provide a network diagram of the assessment scope (to include these assets) to facilitate scoping discussions during the pre-assessment.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
SCADA, PLCs, and CNC machines are Operational Technology (OT) and classified as Specialized Assets per the CMMC Assessment Scope - Level 2. They must be documented in the SSP (Option B), network diagram (Option C), and asset inventory (Option D) to show risk-based management. However, they are not CUI Assets (Option A) unless they process, store, or transmit CUI, which is not indicated here-they support production, not CUI handling. A is the exception.
Reference:
CMMC Assessment Scope - Level 2, Section 2.3.4 (Specialized Assets), p. 6: "OT is not categorized as CUI Assets unless it handles CUI."
NEW QUESTION # 79
An aerospace company bids on a DoD contract that requires CMMC Level 2 compliance. The company has multiple divisions, but only the Manufacturing Division will work on the project. The Manufacturing Division has its own IT infrastructure and security policies, but it relies on the company's centralized IT department for some administrative tasks. Which of the following is the Host Unit in this scenario?
- A. The entire aerospace company
- B. The Manufacturing Division
- C. The office environment
- D. The company's centralized IT department
Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
The CMMC Assessment Scope - Level 2 defines the Host Unit as the specific organizational unit (people, processes, technology) directly tied to the DoD contract and subject to the CMMC assessment. Here, the Manufacturing Division performs the contract work and has its own IT infrastructure, making it the Host Unit (OSC). The centralized IT department is a Supporting Organization, not the Host Unit, as it provides ancillary services. Option C is too broad, and Option B is vague and incorrect. A is correct per the scoping guide.
Reference:
CMMC Assessment Scope - Level 2, Section 2.1 (Host Unit Definition), p. 3: "The Host Unit is the unit performing the contract work."
