Exam CMMC-CCA Topic 1 Question 70 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cyber AB's CMMC-CCA exam
Question #: 70
Topic #: 1
A company is seeking Level 2 CMMC certification. During the Limited Practice Deficiency Correction Evaluation, the Lead Assessor must decide whether the company can move to a POA&M review. Which condition will result in the Lead Assessor recommending that the OSC's practice deficiencies move to a POA&M review?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

For CMMC Level 2, an OSC must score at least 88 out of 110 practices (80%) to qualify for use of POA&Ms. Practices on the DoD's Authorized POA&M List may then be deferred, but only if the OSC meets the 88-point threshold and no high-weight practices are failed.
Exact extracts:
* "Organizations must score at least 88 out of 110 (80%) to be eligible for POA&Ms."
* "POA&Ms may only be applied to a limited subset of practices designated by DoD."
* "Failure to reach the 88-point threshold results in an assessment failure." Why other options are incorrect:
* A: Below 88 is automatic fail.
* B: 110/110 is full compliance (no POA&M needed).
* C: 80 is a distractor; 88 is the actual DoD threshold.
