Control-by-control gap report
A structured view of implemented, partially implemented, and missing practices mapped to your target level.
Service
Find your blind spots before an assessor does.
Our Readiness Gap Assessment partners identify where your controls, evidence, and procedures fall short for your target CMMC level — so your team can remediate quickly and avoid expensive rework.

The Transformation
From unknown gaps to a defensible plan
01
Where you are
Unclear which controls are real risks and which are noise.
02
What we do
Map your evidence, controls, and procedures against your target level.
03
Where you land
A funded remediation plan owners can defend in the next assessment.
Benefits
What changes after the assessment
Outcomes scoped to your contract
Tie every gap to a contract clause, deadline, or assessor expectation. Every recommendation maps back to something real on your roadmap.
- Mapped to NIST 800-171 / CMMC 2.0
- Includes evidence quality scoring
- Owner & due date for every gap
Stop paying twice for the same finding
Avoid rework by catching weak evidence before formal assessment, not after. Our partners quantify the cost of each gap so leadership can sequence remediation by risk and dollars saved.

Teams who walked into assessments calm
★★★★★
"Their gap register saved us a six-figure rework. The evidence scoring was the part our assessor actually cared about."
VP, Security · Aerospace prime
★★★★★
"We finally had one document leadership, IT, and legal could agree on. Funding the roadmap took one meeting instead of three."
CIO · Defense subcontractor
★★★★★
"I've been through four readiness reviews. This was the only one that ranked findings by contract risk, not framework dogma."

How long does an engagement take?
Most readiness assessments run four to six weeks end-to-end, including kickoff, evidence review, interviews, and the executive briefing.
Do you handle the remediation work too?
The assessment is vendor-neutral by design. Once you have the roadmap, you can hire any partner — including ours — to execute it.
Will this prepare us for a formal C3PAO assessment?
Yes. Findings are framed against the same control objectives a C3PAO will test, with notes on evidence weaknesses they typically flag.
What if our scope changes mid-engagement?
Scope is fixed at kickoff. If your CUI boundary shifts, we'll quote a separate addendum rather than silently expanding the bill.
Can you brief our board or program leadership?
Yes. The leadership briefing is included; additional sessions for boards, program offices, or primes are scoped on request.
What does it cost?
Engagements typically range from $18k to $45k depending on systems in scope, headcount interviewed, and target CMMC level.
