A company is undergoing a CMMC Level 2 Assessment.

The Lead Assessor is responsible for managing the assessment team and planning the assessment, including defining the methods, techniques, and responsibilities for collecting, managing, and reviewing evidence. Team members execute assigned tasks, but the Lead Assessor provides direction and oversight.
