NEW QUESTION # 72
An Assessment Team Member is conducting a CMMC Level 2 Assessment for an OSC that is in the process of inspecting Assessment Objects for AC.L1-3.1.1: Limit information system access to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or devices (including other information systems) to determine the adequacy of evidence provided by the OSC. Which Assessment Method does this activity fall under?
- A. Test
- B. Observe
- C. Interview
- D. Examine
Answer: D
Explanation:
Understanding Assessment Methods in CMMC 2.0According to theCMMC Assessment Process (CAP) Guide, assessors usethree primary assessment methodsto determine compliance with security practices:
Examine- Reviewing documents, policies, configurations, and system records.
Interview- Speaking with personnel to gather insights into security processes.
Test- Performing technical validation of system functions and security controls.
TheAssessment Team Memberis inspectingAssessment Objects(e.g., system configurations, user access control settings, policies) to determine if the OSC's evidence is sufficient forAC.L1-3.1.1 (Access Control - Authorized Users).
This activity aligns directly with theExaminemethod, which involves reviewing artifacts such as:
Access control lists (ACLs)
System user authentication logs
Account management policies
Role-based access control settings
"Observe" (Option B)is incorrect because "observing" is not an official assessment method in CMMC.
"Test" (Option A)is incorrect because the assessment is not actively executing a function but ratherreviewingevidence.
"Interview" (Option D)is incorrect because no personnel are being questioned-only documentation is being reviewed.
CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) Guide, Section 3.5 - Assessment Methods
CMMC Level 2 Assessment Guide - Access Control Practices (AC.L1-3.1.1)
Why Option C (Examine) is CorrectOfficial CMMC Documentation ReferencesFinal VerificationSince the activity involves reviewing documents and records to verify access control measures, it falls under theExaminemethod, makingOption C the correct answer.

- A. FedRAMP Secure
- B. FedRAMP High
- C. FedRAMP Low
- D. FedRAMP Moderate
Answer: D
Explanation:
UnderDFARS 252.204-7012 (Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting), if acontractoruses acloud-based serviceto store, process, or transmitControlled Unclassified Information (CUI), the cloud providermustmeet the security requirements ofFedRAMP Moderate or equivalent.
CUI stored in the cloud must be protected according to FedRAMP Moderate (or higher) requirements.
The cloud provider must meetFedRAMP Moderate baseline security controls, which align withNIST SP 800-
53moderate impact level requirements.
The cloud provider must also ensure compliance withincident reportingandcyber incident response requirementsin DFARS 252.204-7012.
Key Requirements from DFARS 252.204-7012 (c)(1):
A). FedRAMP Low # Incorrect
FedRAMP Lowis intended for systems withlow confidentiality, integrity, and availability risks, making itinadequate for CUI protection.
B). FedRAMP Moderate # Correct
FedRAMP Moderate is the minimum required level for CUIunder DFARS 252.204-7012.
It provides a security baseline for protectingsensitive but unclassified government data.
C). FedRAMP High # Incorrect
FedRAMP Highapplies to systems handlinghighly sensitive information (e.g., classified or national security data), which is not necessarily required for CUI.
D). FedRAMP Secure # Incorrect
There isno official FedRAMP Secure categoryin FedRAMP guidelines.
Why is the Correct Answer "FedRAMP Moderate" (B)?
DFARS 252.204-7012(c)(1)
Specifies thatcontractors using external cloud services for CUI must meet FedRAMP Moderate or equivalent.
CMMC 2.0 Level 2 Requirements
CUI must be protected using NIST SP 800-171 security requirements, whichalign with FedRAMP Moderate controls.

NEW QUESTION # 77
An OSC lead has provided company information, identified that they are seeking CMMC Level 2, stated that they handle FCI. identified stakeholders, and provided assessment logistics. The OSC has provided the company's cyber hygiene practices that are posted on every workstation, visitor logs, and screenshots of the configuration of their FedRAMP-approved applications. The OSC has not won any DoD government contracts yet but is working on two proposals Based on this information, which statement BEST describes the CMMC Level 2 Assessment requirements?
- A. Ready because all DoD contractors are required to achieve CMMC Level 2; therefore, they are being proactive in seeking certification.
- B. Ready because there is no need to certify this company until after they win a DoD contract.
- C. Not ready because the OSC still lacks artifacts that prove they have implemented all the CMMC Level
2 Assessment requirements. - D. Not ready because the OSC is not on contract because they do not know the scope of FCI protection required by the contract.
Answer: C
Explanation:
CMMC Level 2 Readiness and Certification RequirementsCMMCLevel 2is required forOrganizations Seeking Certification (OSCs) that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)and aligns withNIST SP
800-171's 110 security controls.
Key Readiness Indicators for a Level 2 Assessment:
The OSC must have implemented all 110 security practices from NIST SP 800-171.
Documented and validated cybersecurity policies and procedures must exist.
The OSC must be prepared to provide objective evidence (artifacts) proving compliance.
Why the OSC in the Question is Not Ready:
They have not won a DoD contract yet# This means they do not yet have a contractually definedCUI environment, which is the foundation for defining their security scope.
They have only provided FCI-related artifacts(e.g., visitor logs, workstation policies, FedRAMP configurations).
Lack of full documentation of CMMC Level 2 controls# The assessment requiresevidence for all 110 security practices(e.g., system security plans, incident response records, security awareness training documentation).
A). "Ready because there is no need to certify this company until after they win a DoD contract." Incorrect# Some organizationsseek certification proactivelybefore winning contracts. However, readiness depends on implementingall 110 required controls, not contract status alone.
B). "Not ready because the OSC is not on contract because they do not know the scope of FCI protection required by the contract." Incorrect# CMMC Level 2focuses on CUI, not just FCI. While FCI protection is important, the assessment's focus is onCUI security requirements, which arenot fully addressed by the provided artifacts.
D). "Ready because all DoD contractors are required to achieve CMMC Level 2; therefore, they are being proactive in seeking certification." Incorrect# While it is commendable that the OSC is being proactive,readiness is based on full compliance with NIST SP 800-171, not just intent.

NEW QUESTION # 78
An assessment is being completed at a client site that is not far from the Lead Assessor's home office. The client provides a laptop for the duration of the engagement. During a meeting with the network engineers, the Lead Assessor requests information about the network. They respond that they have a significant number of drawings they can provide via their secure cloud storage service. The Lead Assessor returns to their home office and decides to review the documents. What is the BEST way to retrieve the documents?
- A. Use their home office workstation to retrieve the documents from the secure cloud storage service and save them to a USB stick.
- B. Log into the secure cloud storage service to save copies of the documents on both the work and client laptops.
- C. Log into the client VPN from the assessor's laptop and retrieve the documents from the secure cloud storage service.
- D. Log into the client VPN from the client laptop and retrieve the documents from the secure cloud storage service.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Best Practices for Handling Sensitive Assessment InformationCMMC assessments involve handlingsensitive and potentially CUI-related documents. Assessors must follow strictsecurity policiesto avoid unauthorized access, data leaks, or non-compliance withCMMC 2.0 and NIST SP 800-171 requirements.
* Why Logging into the Client VPN on the Client Laptop is the Best Approach:
* Ensures Data Protection:The client laptop is likely configured to meet security controls required for handling assessment-related materials.
* Prevents Data Spillage:Keeping all assessment-related activities within the client's secured environment reduces the risk ofdata leakage or unauthorized storage.
* Maintains Compliance with CMMC/NIST Guidelines:Using aproperly configured client laptop and secured connectionensures compliance withNIST SP 800-171 controls on secure remote access(Requirement3.13.12).
* A. "Log into the secure cloud storage service to save copies of the documents on both the work and client laptops."
* Incorrect#Sensitive data should not be duplicated across multiple systems, especially a non-client- approved laptop. Storing it on an unauthorized systemviolates data handling best practices.
* C. "Log into the client VPN from the assessor's laptop and retrieve the documents from the secure cloud storage service."
* Incorrect# Theassessor's laptop may not be authorizedorsecuredto handle client data. CMMC guidelines emphasizeusing approved, secured systemsfor assessment-related information.
* D. "Use their home office workstation to retrieve the documents from the secure cloud storage service and save them to a USB stick."
* Incorrect#
* Transferring sensitive documents via USBintroduces security risks, including unauthorized data storage and potential malware contamination.
* Home office workstationsare unlikely to be authorized for handling CMMC-sensitive data.

NEW QUESTION # 82
The IT manager is scoping the company's CMMC Level 1 Self-Assessment. The manager considers which servers, laptops. databases, and applications are used to store, process, or transmit FCI. Which asset type is being considered by the IT manager?
- A. People
- B. ESP
- C. Facilities
- D. Technology
Answer: D
Explanation:
Understanding Asset Types in CMMC 2.0In CMMC 2.0, assets are categorized based on their role in handling Federal Contract Information (FCI)orControlled Unclassified Information (CUI). TheCybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Scoping GuidanceforLevel 1andLevel 2provides asset definitions to help organizations identify what needs protection.
According toCMMC Scoping Guidance, there are five primary asset types:
* Security Protection Assets (ESP - External Service Providers & Security Systems)
* People (Personnel who interact with FCI/CUI)
* Facilities (Physical locations housing FCI/CUI)
* Technology (Hardware, software, and networks that store, process, or transmit FCI/CUI)
* CUI Assets (For Level 2 assessments, assets specifically storing CUI) Why "Technology" Is the Correct AnswerThe IT manager is evaluatingservers, laptops, databases, and applications-all of which aretechnology assetsused to store, process, or transmit FCI.
According toCMMC Scoping Guidance,Technology assetsinclude:
#Endpoints(Laptops, Workstations, Mobile Devices)
#Servers(On-premise or cloud-based)
#Networking Devices(Routers, Firewalls, Switches)
#Applications(Software, Cloud-based tools)
#Databases(Storage of FCI or CUI)
Since the IT manager is focusing on these components, the correct asset category isTechnology (Option D).
* A. ESP (Security Protection Assets)#Incorrect. ESPs refer tosecurity-related assets(e.g., firewalls, monitoring tools, managed security services) thathelp protectFCI/CUI but do notstore, process, or transmitit directly.
* B. People#Incorrect. While employees play a role in handling FCI, the question focuses onhardware and software-which falls underTechnology, not People.
* C. Facilities#Incorrect. Facilities refer tophysical buildingsor secured areas where FCI/CUI is stored or processed. The question explicitly mentionsservers, laptops, and applications, which arenot physical facilities.
Why the Other Answers Are Incorrect
* CMMC Level 1 Scoping Guide (CMMC-AB)- Defines asset categories, including Technology.
* CMMC 2.0 Scoping Guidance for Assessors- Provides clarification on FCI assets.
CMMC Official ReferencesThus,option D (Technology) is the most correct choiceas per official CMMC
2.0 guidance.

NEW QUESTION # 84
When assessing SI.L1-3.14.2: Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems, evidence shows that all of the OSC's workstations and servers have antivirus software installed for malicious code protection. A centralized console for the antivirus software management is in place and records show that all devices have received the most updated antivirus patterns.
What is the BEST determination that the Lead Assessor should reach regarding the evidence?
- A. It is insufficient, and the audit finding can be rated NOT MET.
- B. It is insufficient, and the Lead Assessor should seek more evidence.
- C. It is sufficient, and the audit finding can be rated as MET.
- D. It is sufficient, and the Lead Assessor should seek more evidence.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Understanding SI.L1-3.14.2: Provide Protection from Malicious CodeThe CMMC Level 1 practiceSI.L1-
3.14.2is based onNIST SP 800-171 Requirement 3.14.2, which requires organizations to:
* Implement malicious code protection(e.g., antivirus, endpoint security software).
* Ensure coverage across all appropriate locations(e.g., workstations, servers, network entry points).
* Keep protection mechanisms updated(e.g., regular signature updates, policy enforcement).
Assessment Criteria for a "MET" Rating:To determine whether the practice isMET, the Lead Assessor must confirm that:
#Antivirus or endpoint protection software is installedon all workstations and servers.
#The solution is centrally managed, ensuring consistent policy enforcement.
#Signature updates are current, meaning systems are protected against new threats.
#Logs or reports demonstrate active monitoring and updates.
Why is the Correct Answer "A. It is sufficient, and the audit finding can be rated as MET"?The provided evidenceconfirms all necessary requirementsfor SI.L1-3.14.2:
#All workstations and servers have antivirus installed#Meets installation requirement.
#A centralized management console is in place#Ensures consistent enforcement.
#Records show antivirus signatures are up to date#Confirms system protection is current.
Because the evidencemeets the requirement, the practice should berated as MET.
* B. It is insufficient, and the audit finding can be rated NOT MET # Incorrect
* The evidence providedmeets all necessary requirements, so the practiceshould not be rated as NOT MET.
* C. It is sufficient, and the Lead Assessor should seek more evidence # Incorrect
* Ifadequate evidence already exists,additional evidence is unnecessary.
* D. It is insufficient, and the Lead Assessor should seek more evidence # Incorrect
* The evidence providedmeets the control requirements, making itsufficient.
Why Are the Other Answers Incorrect?
* CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) Document
* Specifies that a practice can be marked asMET if sufficient evidence is provided.
* NIST SP 800-171 (Requirement 3.14.2)
* Defines the standard formalicious code protection, which ismet by antivirus with active updates.
* CMMC 2.0 Level 1 (Foundational) Requirements
* Clarifies that basic cybersecurity measures likeantivirus installation and updatesmeet compliance forSI.L1-3.14.2.

NEW QUESTION # 87
A CMMC Assessment is being conducted at an OSC's HQ. which is a shared workspace in a multi-tenant building. The OSC is renting four offices on the first floor that can be locked individually. The first-floor conference room is shared with other tenants but has been reserved to conduct the assessment. The conference room has a desk with a drawer that does not lock. At the end of the day, an evidence file that had been sent by email is reviewed. What is the BEST way to handle this file?
- A. Review it. print it, and leave it in a folder on the table together with the other documents.
- B. Review it, print it, make notes, and then shred it in cross-cut shredder in the print room.
- C. Review it, and make notes on the computer provided by the client.
- D. Review it. print it, and put it in the desk drawer.
Answer: B
Explanation:
In the context of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0, particularly at Level 2, organizations are required to implement stringent controls to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This includes adhering to specific practices related to media protection and physical security.
Media Protection (MP):
* MP.L2-3.8.1 - Media Protection:Organizations must protect (i.e., physically control and securely store) system media containing CUI, both paper and digital. This ensures that sensitive information is not accessible to unauthorized individuals.
Defense Innovation Unit
* MP.L2-3.8.3 - Media Disposal:It is imperative to sanitize or destroy information system media containing CUI before disposal or release for reuse. This practice prevents potential data breaches from discarded or repurposed media.
Defense Innovation Unit
Physical Protection (PE):
* PE.L2-3.10.2 - Monitor Facility:Organizations are required to protect and monitor the physical facility and support infrastructure for organizational systems. This includes ensuring that areas where CUI is processed or stored are secure and access is controlled.
Defense Innovation Unit
Application to the Scenario:
Given that the Organization Seeking Certification (OSC) operates within a shared, multi-tenant building and utilizes a common conference room for assessments, the following considerations are crucial:
* Reviewing the Evidence File:The evidence file, which contains CUI, should be reviewed on a secure, authorized device to prevent unauthorized access or potential data leakage.
* Printing the Evidence File:If printing is necessary, ensure that the printer is located in a secure area, and the printed documents are retrieved immediately to prevent unauthorized viewing.
* Making Notes:Any notes derived from the evidence file should be treated with the same level of security as the original document, especially if they contain CUI.
* Disposal of Printed Materials:After the assessment, all printed materials and notes containing CUI must be destroyed using a cross-cut shredder. Cross-cut shredding ensures that the information cannot be reconstructed, thereby maintaining confidentiality.
totem.tech
Options A and D are inadequate as they involve leaving sensitive information in unsecured locations, which violates CMMC physical security requirements. Option B, while secure in terms of digital handling, does not address the proper disposal of any physical copies that may have been made. Therefore, Option C is the best practice, aligning with CMMC 2.0 guidelines by ensuring that all physical media containing CUI are properly reviewed, securely stored during use, and thoroughly destroyed when no longer needed.
NEW QUESTION # 88
Which regulation allows for whistleblowers to sue on behalf of the federal government?

NEW QUESTION # 89
A company is about to conduct a press release. According to AC.L1-3.1.22: Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible systems, what is the MOST important factor to consider when addressing CMMC requirements?
- A. That the information is correct
- B. That the company has to safeguard the release of FCI
- C. That so long as the information is only FCI, it can be released
- D. That the CEO approved the message
Answer: B
Explanation:
* AC.L1-3.1.22states:"Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible systems."
* This control requires organizations toensure that FCI (Federal Contract Information) is not publicly postedor made accessible in an uncontrolled manner.
* FCI must beprotected from unauthorized disclosure, even if it is not classified or CUI.
Reference:
NIST SP 800-171, Requirement 3.1.22
CMMC Level 1 Practice AC.L1-3.1.22
Step 2: Why Safeguarding FCI is Critical in a Press ReleaseIf the company releases apress statementthat includesFCI, it must ensure that the information is not inadvertently exposing sensitive contract-related data.
FCI includesinformation provided by or generated for theDoD under a contractthat isnot intended for public release.
Organizations mustimplement controlsto prevent unintentional exposure.
Step 3: Why Other Answer Choices Are IncorrectA. That the information is correct (Incorrect):
While accuracy is important,CMMC requirements focus on protecting sensitive information, not just ensuring correctness.
B: That the CEO approved the message (Incorrect):
CEO approval does not satisfy CMMC compliance, as it does not address safeguarding FCI.
D: That so long as the information is only FCI, it can be released (Incorrect):
FCI must be protected and cannot be publicly disclosed unless specifically authorizedby the DoD.
Final Confirmation of Correct Answer:The company must safeguard FCI and ensure that no unauthorized disclosures occur in a public press release.
Thus, the correct answer is:C. That the company has to safeguard the release of FCI
