Gap Assessment delivers:

  • Verified position against every applicable control 
  • Gap inventory by severity, scope, and remediation cost 
  • Evidence review across policies, procedures, and artifacts
  • Prioritized remediation plan with sequencing and ownership

Compliance Gap Assessments Across Frameworks 

Each assessment is scoped to the controls, documentation, and boundary requirements of the framework that governs your certification. 

CMMC Gap Assessment 

Measures your environment against all 110 controls in NIST 800-171 and the CMMC Level 2 objectives. You learn which controls fail, which documentation gaps will block certification, and the work required before your C3PAO arrives. 

FedRAMP Gap Assessment 

Evaluates your environment against FedRAMP Moderate or High baselines. You receive a documented authorization position before entering the pipeline, where delays cost months and millions. 

NIST CSF 2.0 Gap Assessment 

Measures your environment against all six CSF 2.0 core functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. You receive a current-state profile, a target-state profile, and a prioritized gap inventory. Organizations that need more than an assessment move directly into Sera Brynn's Compliance Advisory.

GovRAMP Gap Assessment 

Evaluates readiness for state and local authorization programs. You learn what must close before engaging program sponsors.

Why Sera Brynn for Gap Assessments

Sera Brynn assesses organizations against CMMC, FedRAMP, GovRAMP, and NIST CSF 2.0. Assessors build the standards they audit against. 

Engagements are led by CISSP and CISM certified professionals with direct experience in regulated environments. Findings reflect how requirements are actually evaluated.

Gap assessments are delivered with clear findings and defined next steps. Your team addresses what matters first. 

Consistent methodology across controls, documentation, and scope. Results are reliable and comparable across engagements.  

Frequently Asked Questions

Six to nine months before your target date. This allows remediation, evidence collection, and a second pass before your formal assessor arrives. Inside 90 days, organizations typically face delayed certification or conditional findings requiring rework under audit pressure. For CMMC Level 2 and FedRAMP Moderate with an unknown starting position, plan twelve months. 
Engagements typically range from $35,000 to $150,000. Four variables drive the figure: framework count and overlap, environment complexity measured by systems and data flows, geographic and operational scope, and documentation maturity at kickoff. A single framework assessment against a well documented environment falls at the low end. Multi-framework engagements covering CMMC and FedRAMP across hybrid environments fall at the high end. Fixed-fee pricing is provided after scoping.
We map shared controls before fieldwork begins and test each control once against the most stringent requirement. A single integrated assessment costs less, takes less time, and produces one remediation roadmap instead of conflicting ones. 
Four to ten weeks. Single framework assessments against defined environments close in four to six weeks. Multi-framework engagements covering CMMC or FedRAMP across complex environments run eight to ten weeks. The schedule includes kickoff and scoping, two to four weeks of fieldwork, draft report review, and final delivery with an executive briefing.
