CMMC Gap Analysis

With our CMMC gap analysis, URM will assess your organisation's current cybersecurity practices and identify any gaps or weaknesses that need to be addressed in order for you to meet the requirements of the CMMC framework.

Typically, URM’s gap analysis involves the following steps:

• During the discovery and scoping phase, URM will help establish whether there is a requirement either through the processing, storage or transmission of CUI or Federal Contract Information (FCI) or meeting a specified client requirement and then map, at a high level, the data journey to determine the system scope and the sites/locations in scope.  One of URM’s senior consultants will guide you through the CMMC framework in order for you to understand the specific cybersecurity practices and controls that are required at each of the 3 levels of the CMMC framework.
• URM will then assess your organisation's current cybersecurity practices and controls to identify any gaps or weaknesses that need to be addressed.  This involves an evaluation of the maturity of your current controls including technology (e.g., firewalls and intrusion prevention systems) policies and processes (e.g., access control and incident management) and people (e.g., awareness training) controls.
• Following our assessment of your cybersecurity practices, URM will identify any specific cybersecurity practices which need to be improved or enhanced in order to fully meet the requirements of the CMMC framework.  URM will specifically identify any gaps between the current maturity level and the maturity required to achieve the identified CMMC level.  
• The final stage will involve URM working with you to develop a plan (including actions and milestones) to address any identified gaps and improve your cybersecurity practices and be able to consistently demonstrate the maturity (evidence) of the CMMC implementation programme.  As part of the plan, we will help you identify the resources and support which will be needed to implement the required changes.
