Cyber AB CMMC-CCA Exam Dumps

The Examine method is used when the assessor reviews documents, policies, procedures, or system artifacts to validate practices.

Extract:

''Examine: Review, inspect, or analyze assessment objects such as documents, records, and policies to determine compliance with practice requirements.''

Reviewing the incident response plan falls directly under Examine.

Applicable Requirement (CAP -- Evidence Validity): Evidence must be relevant, reliable, and timely. Artifacts from separate entities or outdated sources require extra scrutiny.

Why D is Correct: The least reliable evidence is old (18 months) and produced by individuals not part of the OSC entity being assessed. Such artifacts require the most verification to determine applicability.

Why Other Options Are Insufficient:

A: Strongest evidence (current and from OSC staff).

B: Outdated, but still from OSC staff (more reliable than outside entity).

C: Current, but external (still stronger than outdated + external).

The control PS.L2-3.9.1: Screen Individuals requires that individuals be screened before authorizing access to organizational systems and CUI. Since employees are assigned to work immediately upon hire, before screenings are complete, this practice is NOT MET. Completing screenings within the first week does not satisfy the requirement.

Exact extracts:

''Screen individuals prior to authorizing access to organizational systems containing CUI.''

''Assessment Objectives ... Determine if: [a] individuals requiring access to CUI are screened before access is granted.''

''It is not sufficient for screening to occur after access has been authorized.''

Why the other options are incorrect:

A: Remediation may be possible, but scoring must be NOT MET.

B: A single practice being NOT MET does not automatically cause assessment failure (depends on aggregate score).

C: HR responsibility does not excuse failure to complete screening before granting access.

CMMC Assessment Guide -- Level 2, PS.L2-3.9.1 ''Screen Individuals.''

NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2, 3.9.1.

CMMC Level 2 requires CSPs that process, store, or transmit CUI to meet FedRAMP Moderate (or equivalent) authorization, not FedRAMP High. FedRAMP High is not a CMMC requirement but may be required by contract or specific agencies.

Exact Extracts:

DoD CMMC Scoping Guide: ''External Cloud Service Providers must meet FedRAMP Moderate equivalency when storing, processing, or transmitting CUI.''

CMMC Assessment Guide: ''The baseline requirement for CUI in cloud environments is FedRAMP Moderate; higher levels may be contractually required.''

Why other options are not correct:

A: Equivalency is allowed, but only to FedRAMP Moderate level.

C/D: Incorrect, because CMMC Level 2 does not mandate FedRAMP High.

CMMC Assessment Guide -- Level 2, Version 2.13: External Service Providers and FedRAMP Moderate equivalency requirements.

DoD Cloud Computing SRG (referenced in CMMC documentation): CUI requires FedRAMP Moderate baseline.

Applicable Requirement (CMMC Scoping Guidance -- Specialized Assets): Specialized Assets (e.g., OT, IoT, GFE, test equipment) are not exempt from CMMC practices. OSCs must provide:

Documented identification in SSP/inventory,

Justification of specialized handling,

Evidence that risk-based security measures are implemented.

Why D is Correct: Assessors must see evidence that isolation is actually implemented (not just planned), plus supporting artifacts showing how remaining applicable practices are addressed (monitoring, inventory, access, etc.). Planned measures alone are insufficient.

Why Other Options Are Insufficient:

A: Installation/config builds do not show operational isolation.

B: Scoping statements alone do not demonstrate implementation.

C: SSP language is descriptive but must be supported by implementation evidence.
