CMMC Gap Analysis

Determine Where You Are Today

Harness DoD-authorized C3PAO expertise for your CMMC Gap Analysis. Guaranteed best price – get started today!

You need to attain certification in CMMC. But getting where you need to be requires that you first understand where you are now. Our C3PAO-caliber CMMC Gap Analysis service determines precisely where you are now.

By the way, people use the terms “Gap Analysis” and “Gap Assessment” interchangeably. But within CMMC circles, “assessments” lead to certification, whereas an “analysis” is a form of consulting service to help companies attain compliance and prepare for certification. More on that below.

We begin by scoping your CUI

Have you submitted your NIST 800-171 self-assessment information to the SPRS?

A CMMC Gap Analysis identifies compliance gaps, while a CMMC Readiness “Mock” Assessment simulates a real assessment. Due to DoD regulations, we are unable to provide both a CMMC Gap Analysis (consulting) and a CMMC Readiness “Mock” Assessment (assessment work) for the same organization. This restriction is designed to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure the impartiality of CMMC assessments.

Submitted to SPRS but lack confidence?

How Long Does a CMMC Gap Analysis Take?

It takes 4-6 weeks for most small to medium-sized companies. Larger companies take between 12 and 20 weeks, depending on:

  • Your staff availability,
  • The number of CAGE Code Entities,
  • Your IT complexity and the degree of vertical integration among shared IT and other corporate resources.

How Much Does a CMMC Gap Analysis Cost?

Your cost for our CMMC Gap Analysis depends on these variables:

  • The nature and size of your business, and your industry type
  • The nature of your IT system : on-premises, cloud, or hybrid, number of systems in scope
  • The number of CAGE Code Entities you created to contract DoD business
  • The number of SSPs required to organize your CMMC compliance program

We know you face budgetary constraints. We provide flexible, tailored CMMC compliance consulting solutions and take you all the way through your CMMC Level 2 certification assessment.

Our experience as an approved C3PAO aligns with the Department of Defense (DoD) — Companies’ CMMC compliance scores are 100 points lower than they determined through their NIST 800-171 self-assessments — for several reasons:

  1. Smaller Companies: Don’t fully understand where CUI touches people, processes, and technology,
  2. Larger Companies: Growth through merger and acquisition creates inconsistent vertical IT and personnel resource integration. CAGE Code Entities are incorrectly grouped into a common SSP(s),
  3. CMMC scoping guide requirements weren’t considered or were misapplied,
  4. The 320 assessment objectives that inform NIST 800-171’s 110 security practices weren’t evaluated.
