Strengthen Your Cybersecurity. Simplify CMMC Compliance.

As a Cyber-AB Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO), Alluvionic takes the uncertainty out of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance. Our CMMC gap analysis services provide small to mid-sized defense contractors with a clear, actionable roadmap to CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 certification, ensuring you meet Department of Defense (DoD) cybersecurity requirements without unnecessary costs or delays.

With CMMC now a requirement for contractors working with the DoD, understanding where your cybersecurity gaps are and how to remediate them efficiently is critical to maintaining contract eligibility and protecting sensitive data.

Why a CMMC Gap Analysis Matters

For defense contractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), compliance with CMMC is no longer optional.

The DoD’s Final CMMC Rule mandates that all contractors handling FCI or CUI must be able to prove their cybersecurity readiness before bidding on or renewing contracts. A failed compliance assessment could lead to:

Loss of contract eligibility—you won’t be able to bid on or retain DoD contracts.
Increased cybersecurity risk—non-compliance means vulnerabilities that could expose your systems to cyber threats.
Financial consequences—delays in achieving CMMC certification could result in missed contract opportunities and revenue loss.

Achieving CMMC compliance can be challenging, especially for small and mid-sized businesses that lack dedicated cybersecurity teams or resources to interpret and implement the complex CMMC framework.

That’s where Alluvionic comes in.

Our CMMC gap analysis service simplifies the compliance process by identifying gaps in your cybersecurity posture and providing a clear roadmap for achieving full certification.

Our Approach: Identify, Analyze, & Implement

A CMMC gap analysis is the first step toward certification. It identifies weaknesses in your security controls and provides specific, prioritized recommendations to bring your organization into compliance.

How We Do It

1. Define Your Scope

Before conducting the analysis, we help you determine:

What type of information you handle—Do you process Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)? The answer determines whether you need CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 certification.
Which systems are in scope—We identify the specific assets, networks, and technologies that process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI.
Which compliance requirements apply—We map your current security practices against the CMMC model, ensuring you understand exactly what’s required for certification.

2. Conduct a Comprehensive Assessment

We perform a detailed security assessment using industry-standard frameworks, including NIST 800-171 rev2 and FAR 52.204-21, to evaluate:

Your existing cybersecurity policies and procedures—Do they align with CMMC and DoD requirements?
Your technical security controls—Are your networks, systems, and applications properly configured and hardened against threats?
Your access control measures—Do you have multi-factor authentication (MFA), least privilege access, and secure login methods in place?
Your incident response plan—How does your company handle security breaches, phishing attacks, or unauthorized access attempts?
Your data encryption and transmission protocols—Are CUI and FCI properly protected at rest and in transit?
Your employee security awareness—Do your team members understand their role in protecting sensitive DoD data?

3. Identify Compliance Gaps

Based on our findings, we create a detailed gap analysis report outlining:

Areas where you meet CMMC requirements
Areas where you fall short and what needs to be improved
Potential security risks that could jeopardize CMMC certification
Prioritized remediation steps—starting with the most critical security issues

Each gap is clearly documented, allowing you to see exactly what’s missing and how to fix it.

4. Develop a Customized Roadmap

Our CMMC remediation roadmap is designed to be practical and efficient. We help you:

Prioritize remediation efforts based on risk level and impact
Implement cost-effective security controls that fit your budget
Address non-compliance issues without disrupting daily operations
Develop policies and procedures that align with CMMC’s cybersecurity standards

We provide a step-by-step approach, so you always know your next move.

5. Support Implementation & Readiness

Compliance is more than just a checklist—it’s about ensuring your security measures are operational and effective.

Our team offers:

Guidance in implementing security controls—We help you deploy and configure cybersecurity solutions.
Staff training and awareness programs—Your employees play a critical role in CMMC compliance.
Readiness preparation for assessments—We ensure you’re fully prepared for a C3PAO assessment or DoD review.

What You Gain from Our CMMC Gap Analysis

Achieving CMMC compliance can feel overwhelming, especially for small and mid-sized defense contractors juggling multiple priorities. Our CMMC gap analysis services take the guesswork out of compliance, providing clear, actionable steps to get your organization assessment-ready while minimizing disruption to your business.

Our clients have seen real, measurable benefits from our approach, and we take pride in delivering:

Clarity & Confidence—Know Where You Stand

One of the biggest challenges defense contractors face is understanding their current cybersecurity posture. Without a clear picture of compliance gaps, it’s impossible to take the right corrective actions.

Our comprehensive CMMC gap analysis provides:

A detailed assessment of your policies, procedures, and technical controls against CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 requirements.
A plain-language breakdown of where your organization meets, partially meets, or falls short of compliance.
A customized roadmap that outlines exactly what’s needed to achieve full certification.

With this level of clarity, you’ll know exactly what to focus on—saving you time, money, and unnecessary stress.

Compliance Without Confusion—A Simplified Approach

The CMMC framework is complex, with layers of technical and procedural requirements that can be difficult to interpret without expert guidance. Many businesses struggle with:

Deciphering regulatory language
Understanding what CMMC assessors look for
Figuring out how to translate security policies into actual safeguards

At Alluvionic, we cut through the jargon and translate compliance requirements into plain, actionable steps.

We walk you through each requirement, explaining why it matters and how to implement it effectively.
We provide real-world examples of how other contractors have successfully met compliance.
We offer clear documentation guidance so you can easily meet CMMC’s policy and procedure requirements.

No more guessing. No more wasted time. Just a straightforward path to compliance.

Minimized Risk—Stay Secure & Contract-Ready

Non-compliance doesn’t just mean failing a CMMC assessment—it can put your entire business at risk.

Without strong cybersecurity measures, your organization is vulnerable to:

Data breaches that expose sensitive DoD information
Cyberattacks that can cripple operations
Loss of contract eligibility, costing you revenue and future opportunities

Our CMMC gap analysis ensures you are:

Identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities before they become compliance roadblocks.
Implementing safeguards that protect your data, networks, and systems.
Meeting DoD cybersecurity requirements so you can confidently bid on contracts without fear of disqualification.

Streamlined Certification Process—Save Time & Money

Many contractors assume that CMMC certification will require massive investments of time and resources. While compliance does take effort, our structured approach makes the process as efficient as possible.

We help you:

Prioritize remediation efforts, focusing on the most critical gaps first.
Leverage existing security measures—rather than reinventing the wheel, we find ways to adapt what you already have in place.
Minimize disruptions—We work around your business operations, ensuring security enhancements don’t interfere with daily tasks.
Prepare for assessments—Whether it’s a self-assessment or a C3PAO assessment, we ensure you’re fully prepared to demonstrate compliance.

The result? A faster, smoother path to certification—without the frustration or unexpected costs.
