Cyber AB CMMC-CCA Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

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.

External connections are defined as connections crossing the OSC’s assessment boundary. Here:

The dedicated VPN from office to cloud = one external connection.

The user-initiated VPNs from remote laptops to cloud = a second external connection.

Extract:

“External connections include all system interfaces that cross the assessment boundary, including VPNs initiated by users or established between sites.”

Thus, there are two external connections.

The Physical Protection (PE) practices require that unmanned access points to areas containing CUI be restricted with technical controls that only allow entry to authorized personnel. While cameras, signage, and turnstiles support security, they do not actually prevent access.

Extract from PE.L2-3.10.1:

“Limit physical access to organizational information systems, equipment, and the respective operating environments to authorized individuals.”

The strongest measure listed is one-way gates requiring credentials or intercom authorization, which directly enforces access control.
