Readiness and gap assessment
Evaluate the current environment against the applicable CMMC level and NIST SP 800-171 requirements, then identify what is complete, incomplete, or not yet evidenced.
CMMC and compliance
CMMC readiness and compliance guidance built around your operation.
For Minnesota organizations in or pursuing the defense supply chain, cybersecurity compliance cannot be separated from day-to-day operations. Gryphon helps define the scope, assess the current posture, prioritize gaps, implement controls, prepare evidence, and maintain the program over time.
What it covers
From scoping to assessment-ready — and staying that way.
CMMC readiness is more than paperwork. Gryphon connects the requirements to your real environment: scope, controls, documentation, evidence, and the ongoing work that keeps you compliant after the assessment.
Scope and data-flow definition
Clarify where regulated information is received, stored, processed, and transmitted so the compliance boundary is defensible and practical.
Remediation roadmap
Turn identified gaps into a phased plan with priorities, owners, dependencies, budget considerations, and realistic operating impact.
Security control implementation
Support the technical and administrative controls needed across identity, endpoints, networks, logging, vulnerability management, backup, and related systems.
Documentation and evidence
Develop and organize policies, procedures, system-security documentation, plans of action, and assessment evidence that reflect the environment as it actually operates.
Ongoing compliance support
Maintain controls, documentation, monitoring, evidence, and leadership visibility so readiness does not disappear after the initial project.
Expected outcomes
A defensible posture, not a last-minute scramble.
The goal is a program you can stand behind in an assessment and sustain in operation — with clear scope, closed gaps, and organized evidence.
- A clearer understanding of applicable scope and requirements
- A prioritized remediation plan tied to business reality
- Better alignment between security controls and documented practices
- More organized evidence for an independent assessment
- A sustainable compliance program rather than a one-time checklist
FAQ
Common questions.
What CMMC level do we need?
It depends on the information you handle and your contracts. Level 1 covers Federal Contract Information; Level 2 aligns to NIST SP 800-171 for Controlled Unclassified Information. We help confirm your required level during scoping.
What is the difference between CMMC and NIST SP 800-171?
NIST SP 800-171 is the set of security requirements; CMMC is the program that verifies you actually meet them. CMMC Level 2 is built on the 800-171 controls.
How long does CMMC readiness take?
It varies with your starting point and scope — from a few months to longer for complex environments. We give you a realistic, phased timeline after the initial gap assessment.
Can you get us through the assessment?
We prepare your scope, controls, documentation, and evidence so you go in ready. Gryphon is not the C3PAO that issues the certification, but we get you assessment-ready and support you through it.
