Cyber AB CMMC-CCA Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

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.

To validate that remote access is routed through managed access control points, the assessor requires technical evidence, not just policy. The network diagram shows the design and routing of remote access through controlled points (e.g., VPN gateways), and VPN logs provide operational evidence that remote sessions are enforced through those points.

Exact Extracts:

AC.L2-3.1.14: “Route remote access through managed access control points.”

Assessment Objective (AC.L2-3.1.14[a]): “Remote access is routed through managed access control points.”

Assessment Method (Examine/Interview/Test): Requires network diagrams and remote access logs as evidence.

CMMC Assessment Guide specifies: “Network diagrams and supporting logs are required to demonstrate implementation of remote access routing.”

Why the other options are not correct:

B (policy/procedures): Policies describe intent, not proof of implementation.

C (SSP/vendor mgmt): SSPs provide system description but not direct evidence of enforcement.

D (cloud logs/hardware inventory): These do not specifically demonstrate remote access routing through managed points.

CMMC requires physical access to systems containing or transmitting CUI to be limited to authorized individuals and for access records to be maintained. Badge readers with unique identification provide individual accountability, access control enforcement, and auditable access logs, which are stronger than labels, cameras, or keypads.

Exact Extracts:

PE.L2-3.10.1: “Limit physical access to organizational systems, equipment, and the respective operating environments to authorized individuals.”

PE.L2-3.10.5: “Maintain audit logs of physical access.”

CMMC Assessment Guide: “Badge systems with access control lists and logs are considered a best method for meeting physical access requirements.”

Why the other options are not correct:

A: Labels and lists do not prevent unauthorized access.

C: Cameras monitor but do not restrict access; they are detective, not preventive.

D: Keypads do not provide individual accountability (codes can be shared).
