Many mid-market organizations invest significant time and energy into compliance without ever getting a clear answer to the most important question: what specifically needs to be in place before we’re ready?
Our Compliance Gap Assessments change that. We evaluate your current controls, policies, and processes against your target framework and deliver a precise, prioritized picture of what’s missing, along with the guidance needed to close those gaps and move forward.
We assess your current environment against the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and deliver a clear view of which controls, processes, and documentation need to be in place before you’re ready for an audit.
ISO 27001
Our team evaluates your Information Security Management System against ISO 27001 requirements, identifying gaps in controls, policies, and supporting evidence that need to be addressed on your path to certification.
CMMC & NIST SP 800-171
We assess your practices against CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 requirements and provide a gap report that clearly identifies what’s needed to meet the security requirements of your DoD contracts.
HIPAA
Our HIPAA gap assessment identifies missing administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, and gives you a path to address them before they create regulatory or liability risk.
PCI-DSS
We evaluate your cardholder data environment and security controls against PCI-DSS requirements, identifying gaps that need to be addressed before your next assessment or certification.
Custom Compliance Gap Assessments
Working toward compliance with GDPR, CCPA, or another standard? We provide custom gap assessments that map your current practices against any framework and deliver the actionable findings you need to move forward.
A Simple Path to Closing Compliance Gaps
Know exactly what to build, implement, and document to move toward compliance.
Most assessments will tell you where you fall short; fewer will tell you what to do about it in a way that’s useful. That’s the gap we close. Our Compliance Gap Assessments don’t just identify what’s missing—they translate findings into a practical remediation roadmap that gives your team clear guidance on what to build, implement, and document next.
Each assessment delivers prioritized findings, context on why each gap matters, and recommendations calibrated to your organization’s size, resources, and goals. We also offer implementation support for organizations that want hands-on help closing the gaps we identify.
A Compliance Gap Assessment is a structured comparison of your current controls, policies, and processes against the specific requirements of a target compliance framework, identifying precisely what needs to be implemented or improved to achieve compliance.
A Compliance Gap Assessment focuses on identifying what’s absent, whether that be controls, policies, or documentation not yet in place. A Framework Risk Assessment evaluates the risk embedded in what you already have, including implementation quality and consistency issues that could undermine your compliance posture.
Silent Sector supports gap assessments against many compliance frameworks: SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, CCPS, CIS Controls, and more. We can also provide custom gap assessments against other standards.
A gap assessment is the most efficient starting point for any compliance initiative. It gives you a precise picture of where you stand and what’s needed, so you can invest your resources in the right areas rather than guessing.
You receive a detailed gap report, a prioritized remediation roadmap, supporting documentation guidance, and a debrief session with our team to walk through findings and discuss next steps.
Most Compliance Gap Assessments are completed within 4-6 weeks, depending on the framework and organizational scope. We work closely with your team to keep the process efficient and minimize disruption to your operations.
