[All CMMC-CCA Questions]

While scoring the evidence for a particular CMMC practice, the Certified Assessor notes that one of the practice objectives is NOT MET, thereby scoring the entire practice as NOT MET. The OSC Assessment Official disagrees with the Certified Assessor's decision, and they both take the dispute to the Lead Assessor, who is unable to resolve the issue to the OSC's satisfaction.

How will this dispute be settled?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) specifies that when disputes cannot be resolved by the Lead Assessor, they must be elevated to the C3PAO Official, who has authority to make the final decision.

Extract:

''Unresolved disputes between the OSC and the Assessment Team must be elevated to the C3PAO Official for final resolution.''

Therefore, the C3PAO Official is the final arbiter in such disputes.

I doubt the Cyber-AB will overturn anything without solid proof.

I feel like the Lead Assessor might have to escalate it to someone higher up, like the C3PAO Official, but I can't remember the exact details.

I’m a bit confused about whether the Certified Assessor's decision is final or if there’s a process to appeal it.

I think we practiced a question similar to this, and I recall that the OSC has some recourse if they disagree with the assessment.

I remember discussing how the Lead Assessor has a significant role, but I’m not sure if they can make the final call in disputes like this.
