Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
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.
