The gap analysis discovers gaps between your current NIST SP 800 and the new requirements. Our highly qualified team will take a close look at your network and procedures and interview your internal IT team to determine the level of compliance. We will then provide you with a detailed gap analysis report identifying the gaps and ideas on how to fill them so that you and your team can create your own remediation plan for compliance.

Once the gaps in the report have been addressed and your organization is ready to verify compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC Level 3, IAPMO SCB can provide a compliance assessment. Once the items in the compliance assessment have been addressed, IAPMO SCB will provide you with a NIST SP 800-171 Compliance Certification.

Our team will provide a detailed gap analysis report identifying the necessary steps to become compliant. System Security Plan (SSP): This document identifies the functions and features of your information system, including the Plan of Action and Milestones. The POA&M is a document that outlines the action items needed to reach compliance and the timeline to get there. In its final guidance, the Department of Defense states that an SSP and a POA&M are required in order to prove you are working toward a state of compliance.
