The CMMC Assessment Process emphasizes the importance of confidentiality and non-attribution in interviews to ensure OSC personnel provide candid, accurate information. Interviewees may give shallow or evasive answers if they fear attribution. Assuring confidentiality and non-attribution improves the quality and reliability of responses.

Exact extracts:

“The assessment team must ensure confidentiality and non-attribution during interviews.”

“Responses should be validated against evidence, but the quality of input depends on establishing a safe environment for candor.”

“Non-attribution is critical to elicit detailed and honest responses.”

Why the other options are incorrect:

A: Training matrices identify who is trained, not who should be interviewed.

C: NDAs are not a CCA responsibility — they are contractual, not assessment requirements.

D: Mapping to artifacts is part of correlation after interviews, but does not solve the problem of poor interview responses.
