Cyber AB CMMC-CCA Online Practice Questions and Exam Preparation

Cyber AB CMMC-CCA Online Questions & Answers

• Question 341:

  An OSC has provided its System Security Plan (SSP) as evidence for several CMMC practices related to system security. During your examination of the SSP, you discover a section outlining procedures for user access controls. However, upon further review, you find no mention of procedures for managing privileged accounts, which is a critical aspect of secure system access.

  If the OSC provides a separate document outlining privileged account management procedures, and upon review, these procedures appear sufficient, how should the Lead Assessor proceed with the SSP as evidence?

  A. Request that the OSC formally incorporate the privileged account management procedures into the SSP for consistency.
  B. Accept both the SSP and the separate document as evidence and proceed with the assessment.
  C. Deduct points from the overall assessment score due to the initial oversight in the SSP.
  D. Mark the related user access control practice as "Not Met" due to the initial deficiency in the SSP.
  B. Accept both the SSP and the separate document as evidence and proceed with the assessment.

• Question 342:

  An OSC is presenting evidence of its fulfillment of CM.L2-3.4.1: System Baselining. It provides: System inventory records showing additions/removals of machines, Software inventory showing installations/ removals, and A system component installation plan with software needs and user specifications.

  What other documentation MUST the company present to illustrate compliance with CM.L2-3.4.1?

  A. Documentation of the physical safeguards protecting the "gold" baseline images
  B. Documentation of a formal baseline review integrated with a system development lifecycle
  C. Documentation of any authorized deviations from the system baselines for end-user computers
  D. Documentation of a formal chain of custody for new hardware on which baselines will be installed
  C. Documentation of any authorized deviations from the system baselines for end-user computers

  ---

  Explanation

  Applicable Requirement: CM.L2-3.4.1 -"Establish and maintain baseline configurations and inventories of organizational systems (including hardware, software, firmware, and documentation) throughout the respective system development life cycles."

  Why Option C is Correct: Baseline management requires documenting and tracking authorized deviations to ensure systems remain consistent with approved baselines. Evidence must show the OSC manages exceptions as part of its configuration management process.

  Why Other Options Are Insufficient:

  Option A: Physical safeguards protect images but do not demonstrate baseline management.

  Option B: Reviews may be helpful, but deviations are explicitly required documentation.

  Option D: Chain of custody applies to asset tracking, not baseline management.

• Question 343:

  The Lead Assessor has conducted an assessment for an OSC. The OSC's practices have been scored and preliminary results validated.

  Based on this information, what is the NEXT logical step?

  A. Determine CMMC Assessment scope.
  B. Deliver recommended assessment results.
  C. Consider additional evidence and record gaps.
  D. Create, finalize, and record recommended final findings.
  D. Create, finalize, and record recommended final findings.

  ---

  Explanation

  Applicable Requirement: CAP - Assessment Execution Phase. Why D is Correct: After scoring and validating preliminary results, the next step is to finalize and record recommended final findings for submission. This closes the assessment process and supports certification decisions.

  Why Other Options Are Insufficient:

  Option A: Scope determination occurs in planning, not after validation.

  Option B: Results are delivered after finalization, not immediately after validation.

  Option C: Considering additional evidence occurs during data collection, before validation.

• Question 344:

  During a social event after work, a CCA from your C3PAO team brags about providing "consulting advice" to an OSC they recently assessed for CMMC compliance. You know this directly violates the CoPC's restrictions on CCAs offering such services during an assessment.

  What is your ethical obligation in this situation?

  A. Publicly confront the CCA and remind them of the CoPC violation.
  B. Discreetly approach the CCA and offer to help them understand the CoPC guidelines.
  C. Immediately report the incident to the Cyber AB.
  D. Ignore the situation, as it doesn't involve you directly.
  B. Discreetly approach the CCA and offer to help them understand the CoPC guidelines.

• Question 345:

  The Cyber AB has completed an investigation into a report submitted by a CCA regarding a potential violation by another CCA. They have determined that the violation falls within the scope of the relevant Industry Working Group's authority.

  What is the likely course of action for the Cyber AB in this scenario?

  A. Continue the investigation and make a final determination on the violation.
  B. Refer the incident to the relevant Industry Working Group for resolution, which may include remediation, coaching, or termination, with a right of appeal.
  C. Immediately suspend the CCA's certification pending the working group's resolution.
  D. Dismiss the investigation as it falls outside Cyber AB's direct authority.
  B. Refer the incident to the relevant Industry Working Group for resolution, which may include remediation, coaching, or termination, with a right of appeal.

• Question 346:

  A C3PAO has contracted by an OSC to perform its assessment. Before the assessment, the Lead Assessor asks the OSC to provide an extensive list of evidence, some of which is optional and beyond the minimum requirements. The OSC is not able to fulfill the entire request. One missing document was a current and organized list of the OSC's evidence and mappings.

  Given that this is a Level 2 Assessment, what should the Lead Assessor tell the OSC?

  A. "The OSC's Assessment Official will be asked to collect evidence when requested by the assessment team."
  B. "The OSC must provide the Assessment Team with hardcopy evidence. Electronic evidence will only be collected when needed."
  C. "It's okay that the document is missing. The Assessment Team will collect all evidence themselves to ensure its integrity."
  D. "The OSC should provide the Assessment Team with a current and organized list of their evidence and process mappings, but the assessment can continue."
  D. "The OSC should provide the Assessment Team with a current and organized list of their evidence and process mappings, but the assessment can continue."

  ---

  Explanation

  The CAP requires that the OSC provide an organized and traceable set of evidence for review. While missing an evidence map does not stop the assessment, it is a best practice and strongly recommended to improve efficiency.

  Extract:

  "The OSC should provide an organized list of evidence and mappings to support efficient review by the assessment team. While not strictly required, it is recommended as part of readiness for a Level 2 assessment." Thus, the Lead Assessor should advise the OSC to provide the evidence mapping list, but the absence does not invalidate proceeding.

• Question 347:

  When discussing the OSC's proposed assessment scope, the Lead Assessor learned that some laptops and workstations share a network with CUI assets, but their users do not work with CUI. These assets do not store CUI or run applications that process CUI. Reviewing the OSC's SSP, the implemented risk-based security policies, procedures, and practices raised questions and were found to be deficient.

  What can the Lead Assessor do in this scenario?

  A. Inform the C3PAO so as to obtain advice on the way forward.
  B. Advise the OSC PoC or Assessment Official to address the identified deficiencies.
  C. Conduct a limited spot check to identify risks.
  D. Validate the scope because the assets do not interact with CUI.
  C. Conduct a limited spot check to identify risks.

• Question 348:

  While assessing the scope provided by an OSC, you realize they have two environments with distinct characteristics: the headquarters space located at 24 Industrial Pkwy and an off-site location at 25 Industrial Pkwy. The headquarters houses several offices where document processing occurs on a cloud-hosted Microsoft Dynamics 365 GCC environment. At the off-site location, users access designs from servers hosted at the headquarters through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). These designs are used first in a 3D printer to develop prototypes and subsequently in a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine for production. All these operations are supported by a high-quality Industrial Control System (ICS).

  What type of environment is the off-site facility located at 25 Industrial Pkwy?

  A. Backup environment
  B. Professional environment
  C. Industrial environment
  D. Off-site environment
  C. Industrial environment

• Question 349:

  What principle of the CoPC does this response uphold?

  A. Confidentiality
  B. Professionalism
  C. Objectivity
  D. Information Integrity
  C. Objectivity
