Cyber AB CMMC-CCA Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

The CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) requires that results be reported at the OSC level. While findings may be gathered from enclaves or units, the final reporting must be aggregated and scored across the entire OSC assessment boundary.

Extract:

“Final recommended assessment results must be consolidated and reported at the OSC level, regardless of assessment locations or enclaves.”

Thus, the Lead Assessor must ensure aggregation to the OSC level.

The requirement for CA.L2-3.12.3 – Security Control Monitoring mandates monitoring to be performed on an ongoing basis to ensure the continued effectiveness of the controls. This is not satisfied by a yearly review alone.

CA.L2-3.12.3 Security Control Monitoring – Monitor security controls on an ongoing basis to ensure the continued effectiveness of the controls.

The OSC’s statement in their SSP that monitoring occurs on a one-year periodic basis fails to meet this requirement, because the term "ongoing basis" implies continual or recurring monitoring activities that occur throughout the system’s lifecycle—not a single annual review.

Therefore, the assessor must determine that the OSC’s implementation is not acceptable.

The negative finding is that the OSC permits an uncertified external security provider to access the OSC’s internal network. This introduces unmanaged risk to the CUI environment. CMMC requires the OSC to control and monitor external service provider access. The storage of recordings externally is not inherently noncompliant if properly controlled, and video monitoring is a valid method of meeting PE.L2-3.10.2. The key failure is giving unmanaged third-party access.

Exact extracts:

“Monitor physical facility to detect and respond to physical security incidents.” (PE.L2-3.10.2)

“Assessment Objectives … Determine if: monitoring is performed; unauthorized physical access is detected and responded to.”

“External service providers that connect into the OSC network are considered in-scope and must meet CMMC requirements or have equivalent authorization (e.g., FedRAMP).”

Why other options are incorrect:

A: Requirement does not mandate monitoring of both public and private areas.

C: Video surveillance is an acceptable facility monitoring method when properly implemented.

D: External storage can be acceptable if contractual safeguards and compliance are in place.
