You’re Closer Than You Think: How a CMMC Gap Assessment Can Turn Panic into Peace of Mind
By Peter Noble, CEO – Noble Technology Group
You’ve probably said this to yourself more than once:
“We should be further along by now.”
You’ve put time, money, and trust into IT solutions. You’ve sat through compliance webinars, asked your MSP for answers, maybe even tried to DIY a few things. And still — that pit in your stomach keeps showing up every time someone says CMMC or Gap Assessment.
I get it.
And you’re not alone.
I’ve spoken to defense contractors all over the country — and more than a few right here in San Diego — who feel the same way. Smart people. Seasoned teams. But still stuck. Still worried that non-compliance is going to cost them the contract, the client, or even the company.
So here’s the question you may be asking yourself:
“Is it too late to get this right?”
No.
It’s not too late.
But it is time to stop trying to solve it the hard way.
What Is a Gap Assessment — Really?
You’ve heard the term, maybe even had someone pitch you one. But let’s be honest: most of those conversations sounded like alphabet soup.
Here’s the bottom line:
A CMMC Gap Assessment is the moment of truth — in the best way possible.
It’s when an experienced, certified expert comes in (quietly, calmly, no judgment) and helps you figure out:
- Where you stand against current CMMC requirements
- What you’re already doing right
- What needs to be fixed
- And most importantly… how to fix it in a way that doesn’t destroy your sanity, your schedule, or your budget
It’s not a test.
It’s a turning point.
Why Now Is the Smart Time (Not the Scary Time)
Look, I know how it feels when CMMC changes are flying in from every direction. The rulebook keeps shifting. And the folks you thought were supposed to help? They’re either MIA… or just as confused as you are.
But here’s the truth:
Every day you wait increases the pressure.
More paperwork. More risk. Less room to breathe.
A Gap Assessment doesn’t just show you where the landmines are — it gives you time to disarm them before an assessor walks in.
Sound Familiar?
Let me guess — this isn’t your first rodeo. Maybe you’ve tried one (or all) of these:
- Outsourced IT who promised compliance, but never delivered
- DIY spreadsheets and tools that made things worse
- Consultants who left after writing a 50-page plan you never had time to implement
- Internal IT staff who are brilliant… but not trained in CMMC specifics
If that’s your story, I want you to know:
You didn’t fail.
You just didn’t have the right partner.
