Cyber AB CMMC-CCA Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

In CMMC scoping, only assets that process, store, or transmit CUI (CUI Assets) or that can access them (Security Protection, Contractor Risk Managed, Specialized Assets) are in-scope. Since the SCADA system is firewalled off and does not handle CUI, it does not fall under CUI Asset classification and is considered Out-of-Scope.

Exact extracts:

“CUI Assets are those that process, store, or transmit CUI.”

“Assets that do not process, store, or transmit CUI and have no connectivity to CUI Assets are considered Out-of-Scope.”

“Specialized Assets… are only in-scope if they process, store, or transmit CUI.”

Why the other options are incorrect:

A: Inclusion requires processing/storing/transmitting CUI.

C: OSC cannot arbitrarily bring unrelated systems into scope; CUI relevance governs scope.

D: Not all Specialized Assets are in-scope; only those with CUI interaction are.

Applicable Requirement (CMMC Scoping Guidance – Specialized Assets): Specialized Assets (e.g., OT, IoT, GFE, test equipment) are not exempt from CMMC practices. OSCs must provide:

Documented identification in SSP/inventory,

Justification of specialized handling,

Evidence that risk-based security measures are implemented.

Why D is Correct: Assessors must see evidence that isolation is actually implemented (not just planned), plus supporting artifacts showing how remaining applicable practices are addressed (monitoring, inventory, access, etc.). Planned measures alone are insufficient.

Why Other Options Are Insufficient:

A: Installation/config builds do not show operational isolation.

B: Scoping statements alone do not demonstrate implementation.

C: SSP language is descriptive but must be supported by implementation evidence.

If an asset processes or generates CUI, it is a CUI Asset by definition, regardless of whether it is also part of a test lab or claimed as a Specialized Asset. Specialized Asset handling applies only when the asset does not process, store, or transmit CUI. Since the workstation outputs CUI, it must be assessed fully against CMMC practices.

Exact extracts:

“CUI Assets are those that process, store, or transmit CUI.”

“Specialized Assets… do not process, store, or transmit CUI.”

“If a Specialized Asset processes CUI, it must be categorized as a CUI Asset and is assessed against all applicable practices.”

Why the other options are incorrect:

B: The issue is not with the SSP practice; it is with misclassification of an asset.

C/D: Risk-based treatment applies only to Specialized Assets without CUI, which is not the case here.
