Cyber AB CMMC-CCA Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

If the OSC cannot remediate deficiencies during the POA&M Close-Out process, the Lead Assessor must issue a recommendation of NOT MET, and the OSC will not be certified. CMMC requires all Level 2 practices to be MET (with limited exceptions under defined POA&M close-out rules).

Exact Extracts:

CMMC Assessment Guide: “If practices cannot be met within the POA&M Close-Out process, the Lead Assessor must not recommend certification.”

DoD policy: “CMMC Level 2 requires that all 110 practices be met. A failed POA&M Close-Out results in a final determination of NOT MET.”

“There is no provisional certification status in CMMC.”

Why the other options are not correct:

A: Assessments are not paused indefinitely; unresolved deficiencies result in NOT MET.

B: Justification alone does not satisfy requirements.

C: Provisional status does not exist in CMMC.

The CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) requires that when sensitive or proprietary materials are exchanged during an assessment, the OSC and the C3PAO should establish confidentiality protections through a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Extract:

“OSC and C3PAOs are expected to execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect sensitive information such as proprietary, attorney-client privileged, or pre-patent materials shared during the assessment process.”

Thus, the NDA is the correct document.

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.
