  • CONDUCTED BY CERTIFIED CMMC ASSESSORS WITH DECADES OF FEDERAL COMPLIANCE EXPERIENCE

Unknown Gaps Delay Certification

  • Your organization needs CMMC certification, but you don't know your starting point. Which requirements are compliant? Which need work? How long will remediation take?
  • Without accurate assessment, you're implementing blindly. You might be fixing things that already work while missing critical gaps. Your certification timeline is a guess.

Know Your Gaps Before Certification Pressure Hits

  • Our gap analysis evaluates your environment against every NIST SP 800-171 requirement. You receive detailed findings for each control with remediation guidance.
  • Certified assessors identify what's working and what needs attention. You get a prioritized roadmap showing exactly what to fix and realistic timeline estimates for certification.

Why Kieri for Your Gap Analysis

Led by certified assessors who know exactly what it takes to pass.

Conducted by Certified Assessors

Certified CMMC assessors evaluate your environment. You get the same rigor as formal assessment without certification pressure.

Formal Assessment Report

On completion of gap assessment, Kieri will provide you with a formal assessment report that lists all assessment objectives and whether they are met or other than met, with detailed assessor notes.

Assessment Perspective Included

You’ll understand how assessors evaluate each control, what evidence matters, and what implementations pass. Don’t waste time getting a gap analysis from someone who’s never conducted a real assessment.

What Sets Our
Gap Analysis Apart

Real Assessor Perspective

Conducted by certified CMMC assessors who perform formal evaluations. You get insights into how assessors think and what they prioritize.

Every Objective Evaluated

We assess all NIST SP 800-171 assessment objectives and document whether each one is met or other than met. Nothing gets skipped.

 

Detailed Assessor Notes

Each finding comes with specific notes from our certified assessors so you understand exactly what was reviewed and why it passed or didn’t.

Optional Consulting Support

Gap analysis can stand alone or lead to a consulting engagement. If you’d like Kieri to perform your formal assessment later, we’ll keep findings independent to preserve that option.

Who Needs Gap Analysis

Request a Quote

Uncertain About Readiness

Companies that have implemented controls but don’t know if they’re sufficient. Our assessors validate your approach before you commit to formal assessment.

Failed Previous Assessment

Organizations needing to understand what went wrong. We identify the gaps that caused failure and provide a prioritized remediation plan.

Preparing for Formal Assessment

Contractors wanting confidence before scheduling certification. A gap analysis confirms readiness and identifies any remaining issues while there’s still time to fix them.

“In our own compliance journey of trying to figure out what we are required to do, even with consultants that helped us along the way, the MOST useful resource that we have found to date has been the KCD.”

FAQ

Timeline depends on the size and complexity of your environment. For most small to mid-sized defense contractors, expect the evaluation process to take a few weeks including documentation review, technical review, and staff interviews. We’ll give you a timeline estimate when we scope your engagement.

No. A gap analysis is an informal evaluation to identify where you stand. It doesn’t result in certification. Think of it as a practice run – you get the same rigor and assessor expertise, but without the stakes. The findings help you prioritize remediation so you’re ready when you schedule your formal CMMC assessment.

 

It depends on the scope of the gap analysis. Our standard gap analysis includes consulting, meaning we tell you how to fix your gaps. If we’ve provided that guidance, we can’t serve as your C3PAO for formal assessment. If you’d like to keep Kieri as your assessment option, let us know upfront and we’ll limit our findings to observations only, without remediation recommendations. We can also connect you with other qualified C3PAOs.

That’s exactly what the gap analysis is designed to uncover before it becomes a problem during formal assessment. Your findings report will include a prioritized remediation roadmap with realistic effort estimates and timeline projections. If you need hands-on help closing gaps, we offer consulting and readiness services to get you to certification.

Either order works. Some organizations start with the gap analysis to understand their current state, then use the KCD or KRA to close the gaps. Others purchase the KCD first to get their documentation in order, then schedule a gap analysis to validate their work before formal assessment. If you’re not sure where to start, reach out and we’ll help you figure out the right sequence.

Very. Every gap analysis includes a detailed findings report covering each assessment objective. For each requirement, we describe the evidence reviewed, whether it met the requirement, and if not, exactly why and which system is involved. If there’s a misunderstanding about a requirement, we explain our interpretation so you know how to address it.
