A Lead Assessor is preparing to conduct a Level 2 Assessment for an OSC. During the planning phase, the Lead Assessor and OSC have:
Developed evidence collection approach;
Identified the team members, resources, schedules, and logistics;
Identified and managed conflicts of interest;
Gained access to the OSC's relevant documentation.
Based on the information provided, which would be an additional element to be discussed during the planning phase of the assessment?
During the planning phase, the Lead Assessor must ensure that evidence gaps are identified and documented before assessment execution. This ensures that the OSC is aware of missing or insufficient evidence and can address them prior to final scoring.
Exact Extracts:
CMMC Assessment Guide: ''During planning, assessors and OSC should confirm sufficiency of evidence and identify/document any evidence gaps.''
''The planning phase ensures readiness to proceed with the assessment, including identifying gaps and establishing how they will be addressed.''
Why the other options are not correct:
B: Appeals are addressed post-assessment, not in planning.
C: Assessment costs are agreed upon contractually, not part of the assessment planning phase.
D: FedRAMP equivalency determination is part of scope validation, not general planning.
