Cyber AB CMMC-CCA Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Malicious code protection is typically implemented and managed by system or network administrators, who configure, deploy, and monitor anti-malware solutions. Interviews with these administrators provide direct evidence of control implementation.

Exact Extracts:

SI.L2-3.14.2: “Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.”

CMMC Assessment Guide: “Interviews should be conducted with administrators responsible for deployment and monitoring of malicious code protection.”

NIST SP 800-171A (SI.L2-3.14.2): “Interview system or network administrators to determine how malicious code protection is implemented.”

Why other options are not correct:

A (developers): Developers do not typically manage system-wide malicious code protections.

C (audit personnel): They review logs, not deploy/manage protections.

D (security advisory staff): They track alerts but don’t operate malicious code defenses.

The Physical and Environmental Protection (PE) Policy is the governing artifact that describes how physical access to facilities and environments is managed and controlled. While the SSP provides a system-wide overview, and access lists provide details of who is authorized, it is the PE Policy that explicitly documents the physical access control measures required under CMMC.

Extract from PE.L2-3.10.1:

“Organizations must develop, document, and disseminate physical and environmental protection policies that govern how access to buildings and systems containing CUI is limited to authorized individuals.”

According to CMMC Scoping Guidance, assets controlled by a parent organization are out-of-scope when they are physically and logically isolated from the OSC’s environment and do not process, store, or transmit CUI within the OSC’s boundary.

Extract from 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.”

Since the badge activation machine is completely isolated and managed by the parent organization, and it has no network connectivity to the OSC, it is out-of-scope.
