CMMC Description
Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity.
CMMC Clarification
Do not allow visitors, even those people you know well, to walk around your facility without an escort. Make sure that all non-employees wear special visitor badges and/or are escorted by an employee at all times while on your property. Example Coming back from a meeting, you see the friend of a coworker walking down the hallway near your office. You know this person well and trust them, but are not sure why they are in the building. You stop to talk, and the person explains that they are supposed to meet the coworker for lunch, but cannot remember where the lunchroom is. You offer to walk the person back to the reception area to get a visitor badge and wait until someone can escort them to the lunch room. You report this incident, and the company decides to install a badge reader at the main door so visitors cannot enter without an escort.
