Cyber AB CMMC-CCA Online Questions & Answers

• Question 491:

  Certified CMMC Assessors must follow assessment procedures when conducting CMMC assessments.

  These procedures include a series of steps and tools that the CCA will use in the course of their duties.

  Which of the following is not part of an assessment procedure?

  A. Assessment Method
  B. Assessment Objects
  C. Assessment procedure depth and coverage
  D. Assessment Objective
  C. Assessment procedure depth and coverage

• Question 492:

  While conducting a CMMC Level 2 self-assessment, an organization's Chief Information Security Officer asks the system administrator for evidence that remote access is routed through fully managed access control points.

  Which documentation would BEST demonstrate that all remote access is routed through managed access control points?

  A. Network diagram and VPN logs
  B. Access control policy and procedures
  C. SSP and vendor management
  D. Cloud service audit logs and hardware asset inventory
  A. Network diagram and VPN logs

  ---

  Explanation

  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:

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

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

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

• Question 493:

  A CCA has been selected to lead a team conducting a CMMC assessment for an OSC. However, it is later determined that the OSC's Point of Contact (POC) is the CCA's sister.

  Could this represent a Conflict of Interest (COI)?

  If yes, what CoPC guiding principle or practice may the CCA have violated?

  A. Yes, conflict of interest.
  B. Yes, professionalism.
  C. Yes, integrity.
  D. No.
  B. Yes, professionalism.

• Question 494:

  A mid-sized defense supplier has been working to achieve CMMC Level 2 certification. You are part of the Assessment Team contracted to review their documentation and assess their implementation of CMMC practices. During your review, you notice that the OSC has produced documentation for their contractor risk-managed assets.

  Which of the following is NOT required documentation for contractor risk-managed assets under the CMMC model?

  A. Asset Inventory
  B. Separation methodology
  C. Network Diagram
  D. System Security Plan
  B. Separation methodology

• Question 495:

  The audit team is discussing the OSC's Risk Managed Assets.

  For these types of assets, the contractor need NOT:

  A. Provide a network diagram of the assessment scope.
  B. Ensure they are included in the pre-assessment discussion.
  C. Prepare for the assets to be assessed against CMMC practices.
  D. Show how they are being managed using organizational security policies.
  C. Prepare for the assets to be assessed against CMMC practices.

  ---

  Explanation

  Risk Managed Assets are not assessed against CMMC practices, but OSCs must demonstrate that they are identified and that the risk they pose to CUI is managed in accordance with organizational policies.

  The Scoping Guide specifies that these assets must be addressed in pre-assessment discussions and described in the scope diagram, but they are explicitly excluded from practice-by-practice assessment.

  Exact extracts:

  "Risk Managed Assets do not process, store, or transmit CUI but can access CUI Assets. These assets are not assessed against CMMC practices but must be discussed with the assessor." "Organizations must identify how these assets are managed by organizational policies." "Risk Managed Assets must be included in scope diagrams."

  Why the other options are incorrect:

  Option A/B/D: Risk Managed Assets still must be documented, discussed, and managed with policies.

  Option C: They are explicitly excluded from practice assessment.

• Question 496:

  During a CMMC assessment, the Lead Assessor, Emily, notices that one of the CCAs on her team, Alex, seems overly critical and skeptical of the evidence presented by the OSC. Although the OSC demonstrates compliance with the required CMMC practices, Alex repeatedly questions the validity of the evidence and suggests the OSC is not meeting the criteria. Concerned that Alex's behavior may be influenced by bias, Emily decides to address the issue directly. She recalls a previous incident in which Alex took a similar approach, and shortly afterward, the OSC experienced a data breach.

  What steps should Emily and, most importantly, the C3PAO have taken to prevent this eventuality?

  A. Avoid working with assessors who have previous experience with the OSC
  B. Rely on the Lead Assessor to mitigate any potential bias
  C. Undergo additional training in the CMMC requirements
  D. Identify and manage assessor bias to deliver objective assessments
  D. Identify and manage assessor bias to deliver objective assessments

• Question 497:

  Jane is a CCA for a leading C3PAO. She is selected to be part of a team of four, headed by James, to assess how Micron Inc., an OSC, has implemented the requirements for a CMMC Level 2 certification.

  However, she witnesses James striking a deal with Micron's CISO to manipulate some findings to ensure the OSC is certified.

  What should Jane do?

  A. Assume nothing happened and continue with the assessment.
  B. Privately request clarification from James.
  C. Ask for a bribe from James to keep quiet.
  D. Contact the DoD CIO and report James.
  B. Privately request clarification from James.

• Question 498:

  As a CCA, John feels that he can make some extra cash by aggregating and rewriting CMMC materials into a book titled Acing Your CMMC Assessment: A Complete Guide. You ask him about potential issues, such as failing to get permission from the Cyber AB. John tells you that since he is a CCA, this is not a requirement, and in any case, the information is already publicly available.

  Has John broken any CoPC guiding principles or practices?

  If so, which one?

  A. No, he has not.
  B. Yes, information integrity.
  C. Yes, respect for intellectual property.
  D. Yes, adherence to materials and methods.
  D. Yes, adherence to materials and methods.

• Question 499:

  An OSC has contracted a C3PAO to perform a Level 2 Assessment. As the Lead Assessor is analyzing the assessment requirements, it is found that the OSC does not have a document detailing the assessment scope.

  How can this problem BEST be fixed?

  A. The Assessment Team is supposed to generate the document before moving forward.
  B. The CCA tells the OSC they must provide the document before the assessment can begin.
  C. The OSC and the Lead Assessor jointly create the document at the beginning of the assessment.
  D. The Lead Assessor can regulate the assessment and create/adjust the document moving forward.
  B. The CCA tells the OSC they must provide the document before the assessment can begin.

  ---

  Explanation

  The OSC is responsible for providing the scoping documentation before the assessment begins. The assessor validates the scoping documentation but does not create it on behalf of the OSC. If the OSC cannot provide scope documentation, the assessment cannot proceed.

  Exact Extracts:

  CMMC Scoping Guide: "The OSC must prepare and provide scoping documentation, including network diagrams, asset inventories, and SSP, prior to assessment." CMMC Assessment Guide: "The assessment team validates scoping documentation; it is not the responsibility of the C3PAO or assessor to create the

  OSC's scope."

  Why other options are not correct:

  Option A: Incorrect - assessment teams validate but do not generate scoping documents.

  Option C: Joint creation is not allowed; OSC must own and prepare documentation.

  Option D: Lead Assessor cannot create scope; must rely on OSC's provided documentation.

• Question 500:

  Dwayne is the Lead Assessor for a C3PAO Assessment Team conducting an assessment for an OSC.

  During the evaluation, he learns that the OSC recently won a lucrative contract with the Department of Defense, a significant milestone for the organization. Impressed by the OSC's accomplishment, Dwayne begins to view the organization more favorably and is inclined to interpret the evidence gathered during the assessment in a way that would enable the OSC to achieve the desired CMMC certification level.

  What is the primary reason Dwayne's assessment of the OSC may be influenced?

  A. Incomplete understanding of the CMMC requirements
  B. Time constraints
  C. Lack of experience
  D. Bias
  D. Bias
