CISM study material · question 500 of 1000

Requirements are flowed down to subcontractors but nothing checks whether they are met. Which linkage does NIST require?

  1. An annual certification from the prime contractor
  2. Performance objectives tied to a method of inspection, such as a quality assurance surveillance plan
  3. A direct contractual relationship with each subcontractor
  4. A right to audit subcontractors without notice
Show the answer

Answer: B. Performance objectives tied to a method of inspection, such as a quality assurance surveillance plan

SP 800-161r1 pairs flowed-down requirements with supply chain performance objectives and a named inspection method — a quality assurance surveillance plan or its equivalent — so performance is actually monitored.
