Know where you stand before the assessor does.

Readiness advice for government contractors and agencies working toward NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, or FedRAMP. The gaps are found, ranked, and planned before the assessment date.

Discuss a readiness brief View the process

Readiness scope

What the framework will actually test.

Scope

Which systems, data, and people fall inside the boundary.

Controls

Which required controls are met, partly met, or missing.

Evidence

Whether the records exist to show a control works.

Policies and plans

The system security plan and the policies behind it.

Third parties

Which providers and tools pull obligations into scope.

Program scope

What it takes to close the gaps.

Remediation plan

The order to close gaps, with owners and dates.

Cost

What remediation will cost, and what can wait.

Contract exposure

Which bids and contract clauses depend on the result.

Ongoing upkeep

What has to keep running after the assessment passes.

Risk register model

How risk is captured and rated.

  1. Captured

    Each risk is written against the specific decision.

  2. Rated

    Likelihood and impact are assessed, not just listed.

  3. Tied to the decision

    Every risk states what it would change if it lands.

Deliverables

What you receive.

  • A gap assessment against the framework in scope.
  • A ranked remediation plan with owners and dates.
  • A readiness record you can hand to an assessor.
  • A clear statement of what was assumed and what was withheld.

Conflict and confidentiality posture

Independence is established up front.

Conflict checks

Conflicts are checked before any engagement begins.

NDA available

An NDA is available before detailed material is shared.

Personal-capacity independence

Karaya Group operates in a personal capacity, independent of any vendor or bidder.

Approved or anonymized examples

Decision shapes, never named clients.

  • A contractor whose scope boundary was larger than its plan assumed.
  • A cloud service where evidence, not controls, was the real gap.
  • A bid deadline that set the order of remediation.

These are anonymized shapes of decisions. No client, program, or figure on this page is a specific engagement.

Questions

Common questions.

Are you an accredited assessor?
No. Karaya does not assess, certify, or issue authorizations. The work prepares you for the assessment and never stands in for one.
Which frameworks do you cover?
NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, and FedRAMP readiness, plus the plans and policies behind them. If a brief needs another framework, that is said up front.
How is confidential material handled?
A first message should carry no confidential detail. An NDA is available before deeper material is shared, and access is scoped to the brief.

Start with the brief

Bring the readiness question in before the deadline.

Tell Karaya which framework and which date. Keep confidential detail out of a first message.
