PE.L2-3.10.5 — Control and manage physical access devices
Control and manage physical access devices.
Verbatim NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 requirement text (3.10.5).
How it's scored
1 point deducted from your SPRS score if unmet.
PE.L2-3.10.5 can never sit on a POA&M, regardless of your score: it is one of the six requirements 32 CFR 170.21(a)(2) excludes from Plans of Action & Milestones at conditional certification. It must be fully implemented before a Level 2 assessment can succeed.
What an assessor checks: the 3 assessment objectives
NIST SP 800-171A determination statements, verbatim. A CMMC Level 2 assessor marks PE.L2-3.10.5 MET only when every applicable objective is satisfied — and examines evidence, not assertions.
| Objective | Determination statement |
|---|---|
| 3.10.5[a] | physical access devices are identified. |
| 3.10.5[b] | physical access devices are controlled. |
| 3.10.5[c] | physical access devices are managed. |
