NIST 800-171 Gap Analysis
A comprehensive diagnostic of your current IT posture against all 110 controls of NIST 800-171 Rev 2.
The Danger of the Unknown Baseline
You cannot secure what you cannot see, and you cannot fix what you have not measured. For Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors, attempting to achieve CMMC Level 2 compliance without a formal Gap Analysis is the most common reason budgets spiral out of control and certification audits fail.
Furthermore, estimating or inflating your Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score to win a contract is no longer a viable strategy. Submitting an inaccurate self-assessment directly exposes your organization to extreme financial liabilities under the False Claims Act (FCA).
| Objective | Know Where You Stand: A red/yellow/green heatmap of your compliance gaps before the auditor sees them. |
|---|---|
| Scope of Review | Full examination of your System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action & Milestones (POAM). |
How Guardianshield Executes a Gap Analysis
1. Assessor-Level Scrutiny
Because our advisory team is backed by C3PAO credentials, we don't just check boxes. We evaluate your current policies and technical implementations using the exact CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) and NIST 800-171A guidelines that official auditors will use.
2. CUI Data Flow Mapping
Before we evaluate controls, we follow the data. We interview your staff and map exactly how Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) enters, moves through, and exits your organization to properly define your assessment boundary.
3. Accurate SPRS Scoring
We calculate your true, mathematically accurate SPRS score. This gives you a defensible baseline to submit to the Department of Defense, completely mitigating your legal exposure under the False Claims Act.
4. Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
We don't leave you with a list of problems; we provide the solution. We deliver a step-by-step remediation roadmap that prioritizes gaps based on risk severity, point values, and the most cost-effective path to compliance.
