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.

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.

In CMMC scoping, assets are categorized based on where CUI is processed, stored, or transmitted. According to the CMMC Scoping Guide for Level 2, if CUI is only stored and used in HQ and Site A, those locations contain CUI Assets. Since Site B neither stores, processes, nor transmits CUI, its assets are considered Out of Scope.

Exact extracts:

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

“Assets that do not process, store, or transmit CUI, and cannot provide access to CUI, are considered Out-of-Scope.”

“Only those assets in the scope of CMMC assessment will be evaluated against practices.”

Why the other options are incorrect:

B: Site B has VPN connectivity, but if it does not use or process CUI, its assets remain out of scope. Connectivity alone does not bring it into scope.

C/D: The terms “Certification in Risk Management Assurance” are not valid CMMC asset categories.
