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.

IA.L2-3.5.7 requires password complexity rules that include uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and special characters. The given policy addresses three requirements but does not mandate at least one special character.

Extract:

“Enforce password complexity by requiring combinations of upper-case letters, lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters.”

Thus, the missing requirement is the use of a special character.

The OSC (Organization Seeking Certification) is always responsible for meeting CMMC requirements, regardless of what responsibilities are shared or outsourced to an ESP. ESPs can provide inherited practices (e.g., FedRAMP Moderate for cloud CUI), but the OSC remains accountable for compliance under government mandates.

Exact Extracts:

CMMC Assessment Guide: “The OSC is the entity being assessed. While an ESP may provide inherited practices, the OSC retains ultimate responsibility for compliance.”

Scoping Guide: “External Service Providers may meet requirements on behalf of the OSC; however, it is the OSC that is assessed and must demonstrate sufficiency of evidence.”

Why other options are not correct:

A: Incorrect — ESPs that process CUI must meet FedRAMP Moderate equivalency, even if not directly assessed for CMMC.

B: While true, factoring documentation does not override that OSC remains accountable.

C: ESPs are not assessed at the same time as the OSC; only the OSC receives certification.
