Assessment Objective

An assessment objective is a specific, testable statement that an assessor uses to determine whether you've properly implemented a CMMC practice. Each practice may have multiple assessment objectives — these are the individual checkboxes an assessor must verify during your CMMC assessment.

For example, a practice about account management might have assessment objectives like: 'accounts are disabled when no longer needed,' 'account managers are notified when users are terminated,' and 'access authorizations are specified for each account.' Each objective must be individually satisfied.
