CMMC-CCA Exam Question 11
An OSC previously received a Conditional CMMC Level 2 Certification during Phase 3 of the assessment process. The OSC has been working on implementing a POA&M to address the practice deficiencies identified during the initial assessment. Now, within 180 days from the Final Recommended Findings Briefing, you are to conduct a POA&M Closeout Assessment. As the Lead Assessor, you and your assessment team review the OSC's updated POA&M, accompanying evidence, and any scheduled observations, interviews, or tests with the aim of validating the implementation of the corrective actions. If the Organization Seeking Certification (OSC) disagrees with the C3PAO's findings during the POA&M Closeout Assessment, what is the recourse?
CMMC-CCA Exam Question 12
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?
CMMC-CCA Exam Question 13
CMMC practice PS.L2-3.9.1 - Screen Individuals requires individuals to be screened before authorizing access to organizational systems containing CUI. However, in the assessment you are currently conducting, there is no physical evidence confirming the completion of personnel screens, such as background checks, only affirmations derived from an interview session. In an interview with the HR Manager, they informed you that before an individual is hired, they submit their information through a service that performs criminal and financial checks. How would you score the OSC's implementation of CMMC practice PS.L2-3.9.1 - Screen Individuals, objective [a]?
CMMC-CCA Exam Question 14
When assessing an OSC's compliance with IR requirements, you realize they have deployed a system that tracks incidents, documents details, and updates the status throughout the incident response process. Personnel to whom incidents must be reported are identified and designated. While examining their documentation, you come across an incident response template that they use to capture all relevant information and ensure consistency in reporting to the identified authorities and organizational officials. Interviewing the IR team, you learn there is an escalation process that the contractor's cybersecurity team can use to address more serious incidents. From the scenario,the contractor has met all the required objectives for CMMC practice IR.
L2-3.6.2 - Incident Reporting, meaning its implementation of the said practice will be scored MET with a total of 5 points. For how long must the OSC retain the incident records?

CMMC-CCA Exam Question 15
You are assessing an OSC that develops applications handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). As part of the assessment, you review their vulnerability scanning process. According to their risk assessment policy, the OSC conducts system vulnerability scans every three months. However, they also utilize a centralized, automated vulnerability scanning tool that performs daily scans. Upon discovering any vulnerabilities, the OSC's team applies patches and rescans their systems. Their environment includes backend database servers, web applications with custom Java code, virtual machine hosts running containerized applications, network firewalls, routers, switches, and developer workstations. During the assessment, you find that their scanning solution integrates the latest vulnerability feeds from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL), and vendor sources.
The tool generates reports using Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) metrics, and even remotely connected developer laptops are included in the scans. However, upon reviewing the vulnerability reports, you observe that the same high/critical vulnerabilities persist month after month without evidence of remediation.Furthermore, there is no record of source code scanning for their custom applications, and virtual machine hosts running the containerized applications are not included in the scans. Which of the following would be an appropriate compensating control or mitigation for the lack of source code scanning?
