What is the maximum time frame for a C3PAO to respond to an OSC?

  1. 3 business days

  2. 5 business days

  3. 7 business days

  4. 10 business days

The correct answer is: 5 business days

The maximum time frame for a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) to respond to an Organization Seeking Certification (OSC) is set at 5 business days. This timeline is established to ensure that OSCs receive timely feedback and support throughout their certification journey. A prompt response is crucial for maintaining the overall integrity and effectiveness of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) process, allowing organizations to quickly address any issues or inquiries that may arise. In the realm of CMMC, the structured timeline reflects the commitment of C3PAOs to prioritize the needs of OSCs while also adhering to the strict regulatory and procedural guidelines laid out by the CMMC Accreditation Body. By establishing a 5-day window, C3PAOs can manage their resources effectively while providing necessary assistance to organizations pursuing the certification essential for compliance and securing Department of Defense contracts.
