The CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) requires that sufficient evidence must:

Cover the sampled organization,

Cover the defined model scope of the assessment (Target CMMC Level), and

Correspond to the evidence collection approach.

Evidence is always required, even if the organization holds other certifications such as ISO. External certifications cannot replace CMMC evidence requirements. Thus, the statement that “Evidence is not required if the practice is ISO certified” is not valid.
