Cyber AB CMMC-CCA Exam - Topic 2 Question 16 Discussion

An OSC has a testing laboratory. The lab has several pieces of equipment, including a workstation that is used to analyze test information collected from the test equipment. All equipment is on the same VLAN that is part of the certification assessment. The OSC claims that the workstation is part of the test equipment (Specialized Asset) and only needs to be addressed under risk-based security policies. However, the OSC states that the data analysis output is CUI. What is the assessor's BEST response?
A) Disagree with the OSC and include the workstation in the full assessment.
B) Disagree with the OSC and score practice CA.L2-3.12.4: System Security Plan as NOT MET.
C) Agree with the OSC but perform a limited check of the system, not increasing the assessment cost or duration.
D) Agree with the OSC and determine if it is managed using the contractor's risk-based information security procedures and practices.

An OSC has a testing laboratory. The lab has several pieces of equipment, including a workstation that is used to analyze test information collected from the test equipment. All equipment is on the same VLAN that is part of the certification assessment. The OSC claims that the workstation is part of the test equipment (Specialized Asset) and only needs to be addressed under risk-based security policies. However, the OSC states that the data analysis output is CUI. What is the assessor's BEST response?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

If an asset processes or generates CUI, it is a CUI Asset by definition, regardless of whether it is also part of a test lab or claimed as a Specialized Asset. Specialized Asset handling applies only when the asset does not process, store, or transmit CUI. Since the workstation outputs CUI, it must be assessed fully against CMMC practices.

Exact extracts:

''CUI Assets are those that process, store, or transmit CUI.''

''Specialized Assets... do not process, store, or transmit CUI.''

''If a Specialized Asset processes CUI, it must be categorized as a CUI Asset and is assessed against all applicable practices.''

Why the other options are incorrect:

B: The issue is not with the SSP practice; it is with misclassification of an asset.

C/D: Risk-based treatment applies only to Specialized Assets without CUI, which is not the case here.

I think the best approach might be to agree with the OSC but still check the system, like option C suggests, but I’m not entirely confident.

I feel like the workstation should be included in the full assessment since it handles CUI, but I can't recall the exact guidelines for that.

This question seems similar to one we practiced about asset classification and risk management. I think I might lean towards option D.

I remember discussing how specialized assets should be treated differently, but I'm not sure if the workstation qualifies as one.
