An OSC has recently obtained an ISO 27001 certification and a FedRAMP Authorization to Operate (ATO) for its information systems. During the initial stages of the CMMC Assessment Process, the OSC claims that these certifications should grant them automatic credit or exemption from certain CMMC requirements. As the Lead Assessor, what should be your response?
You are testing a contractor?s mechanisms for implementing wireless access protection to their information systems. AC.L2-3.1.17-Wireless Access Protection mandates the contractor to implement measures to protect the WAPs, which after interviews, tests and examination of some documents, you realize the contractor has done a fair job to achieve compliance. Which of the following is an option for what the contractor must have addressed to obtain a score of MET in this practice?
During a POA&M Close-Out Assessment, the Lead Assessor encounters a situation where the organization's corrective actions for a specific practice have inadvertently limited the effectiveness of another practice that was previously scored as 'MET' during the initial assessment. In this scenario, what should the Lead Assessor's recommendation to their C3PAO be?
As a Lead Assessor, you are in contact with the OSC Assessment Official. The Assessment Official has submitted a document that outlines the scope of your assessment engagement. You expect to find all the following elements on the Assessment Scope document, EXCEPT?
Assessing a DoD contractor, you observe they have implemented physical security measures to protect their facility housing organizational systems that process or store CUI. The facility has secure locks on all entrances, exits, and windows. Additionally, video surveillance cameras are installed at entry/exit points, and their feeds are monitored by security personnel. Feeds from areas where CUI is processed or stored and meeting rooms where executives meet to discuss things that have to do with CUI and other sensitive matters are segregated and stored on a designated server after monitoring. Walking around the facility, you notice network cables are hanging from the walls. To pass through a door, personnel must swipe their access cards. However, you observe an employee holding the door for others to enter. Although power cables are placed in wiring closets, they aren't locked, and the cabling conduits are damaged. Even without examining their policies and procedures or interviewing the guards or their incident response team, how would you score the OSC's implementation of CMMC practice PE.L2-3.10.2-Monitor Facility, using the DoD Assessment and Scoring Methodology?
