What is a CMMC Gap Assessment?
A CMMC gap assessment, or a gap analysis, is an initial audit of an organization’s cybersecurity practices against the requirements of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). This assessment reveals missing, insufficient, or outdated security controls that need to be addressed before an organization can achieve certification.
What You Get
When you engage with TestPros for a gap assessment, you will have a clear understanding of your cybersecurity posture and which areas need improvement to have a successful CMMC assessment. With our service, you’ll receive:
- Policy & Documentation – Develop or review your security policies, procedures, and system documentation.
- Technical & Security Control Review – An audit of the required security controls from NIST SP 800-171
- Gap Analysis Report – You receive a detailed gap analysis highlighting non-compliant areas, prioritized by risk level and impact on CMMC certification.
- Gap Remediation Plan – We provide a step-by-step roadmap outlining how to close compliance gaps. TestPros may also provide the remediation for you.
- Expert Consulting & Next Steps – Our cybersecurity specialists guide you through the findings and help you prepare for the next steps in the CMMC process, whether that’s implementing fixes or planning for an official CMMC assessment.
If your organization requires Level 2 compliance, TestPros can assist with the third-party assessment (C3PAO) to help you achieve certification.

Key Benefits of Our Gap Analysis
Establish a Baseline
Many organizations don’t know where they stand with CMMC 2.0 requirements. We determine how far you are from meeting compliance.
Develop Documentation
If you don’t have a System Security Plan (SSP) or a Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) yet, we help you develop these critical compliance documents so you have a structured approach to security and remediation.
Remediation Assistance
We don’t just highlight security gaps—we provide a clear, prioritized roadmap that details exactly which issues to fix first. If you need assistance implementing security controls or policy updates, we can handle remediation for you.
Avoid Unnecessary Costs
We identify only what needs fixing, preventing wasted effort and costly delays. Unlike subscription-based tools, our flexible pricing ensures you pay only for what you need—no ongoing commitments.
Prevent Audit Failures
Failing a CMMC audit can lead to contract loss and expensive last-minute fixes. By identifying security and compliance gaps early, we help you avoid compliance surprises when it’s time for an official assessment.
Competitive Advantage
CMMC compliance is now a business necessity for winning and retaining DoD contracts. We put your organization in position to achieve certification, making you a more attractive partner for primes and government buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key components of a CMMC gap assessment?
A CMMC gap assessment examines each aspect of your System Security Plans (SSPs), policies, procedures, and security controls in great detail. The results include identification of deficiencies, graded objective determination of compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC standards, and a detailed report of findings with actionable prioritized remediation steps for any deficiencies identified.
What is the cost?
Prices for CMMC gap assessments are based on an organization’s size and complexity. This includes the number of systems, sensitivity of data, and any existing security controls. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your unique requirements.
What is the timeline for completion?
The timeline for a CMMC gap assessment really depends on where your organization is in its current cybersecurity maturity and the extent of required remediation. In general, an assessment process could take weeks up to a few months. We work with you to establish a realistic and efficient timeline tailored to your needs.
How can I conduct a gap assessment?
To get an idea of where you stand you can download a self-assessment tool from the CMMC Information Institute. The tool helps you create a compliant cybersecurity program by streamlining your efforts to meet CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 requirements. Download it via the link here.
What happens after the analysis has been completed?
After the assessment, remediation is conducted, then we carry out a pre-assessment readiness review. This final review will ensure that there are no gaps remaining and your organization is fully prepared for a self assessment or a Level 2 assessment by TestPros or another Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).
