Virginia Defense Contractors:
Do You Know Where Your Gaps Are?
You operate minutes from the Pentagon.
Your work touches some of the most sensitive programs in the country.
And the DoD is done accepting "we're working on it" as a compliance strategy.
A CMMC gap assessment tells you exactly where you stand. No guessing.
Virginia Is Ground Zero
for CMMC Enforcement
Virginia is home to the largest concentration of defense contractors in the United States.
Over 17,000 DoD contractors operate across the Commonwealth, from Arlington and Fairfax to Hampton Roads and Charlottesville.
The Northern Virginia defense corridor alone generates more than $40 billion in federal contracts annually.
And the Department of Defense is watching this state more closely than any other.
DFARS clause 252.204-7021 is already appearing in new contracts. That clause requires CMMC certification at the level specified. No certification, no contract. Period.
A gap assessment is the first step. It shows you exactly which of the 110 NIST 800-171 controls you've implemented, which ones you haven't, and what it will take to close every gap before your C3PAO assessment.
6-18 Months
The typical remediation timeline after a gap assessment. Starting late means missing contract deadlines.
110 Controls
NIST 800-171 has 110 security requirements. Missing even one can derail your assessment.
17,000+ Contractors
Virginia defense firms are all competing for limited C3PAO assessor availability.
What Our CMMC Gap Assessment
Covers for Virginia Contractors
CMMC Ready Now, powered by Capital Cyber, delivers a gap assessment that goes far beyond a spreadsheet. We give you a battle plan.
Full NIST 800-171 Control Review
We evaluate every one of the 110 controls across your environment. Access controls, incident response, media protection, system integrity, and more.
CUI Scoping & Data Flow Mapping
We identify where Controlled Unclassified Information lives, how it moves, and who touches it. Scoping errors are the number one reason assessments fail.
Technical Vulnerability Scan
We scan your network, endpoints, and cloud infrastructure for misconfigurations and known vulnerabilities that violate NIST requirements.
Policy & Documentation Audit
Your System Security Plan, POA&M, incident response plan, and supporting policies are reviewed against what C3PAO assessors expect to see.
Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
You receive a detailed report ranking every gap by severity and effort. You will know exactly what to fix first and how long it will take.
Executive Briefing
A clear, jargon free summary for leadership that explains risk, cost, and timeline. Built for decision makers, not just IT teams.

Trusted by Defense Contractors Across Virginia
Real results from real companies operating in the VA defense corridor.
“We assumed our managed IT provider had us covered. Capital Cyber's gap assessment revealed 62 unmet controls. Without that wake up call, we would have failed our C3PAO assessment and lost our prime contract.”

“The gap assessment was thorough but never overwhelming. They explained every finding in plain language and gave us a realistic timeline. We closed all gaps in 10 months and certified on the first attempt.”

Virginia defense contractors built this industry.
You're the backbone of programs that keep this country safe.
But the DoD has made something very clear: trust must be verified.
CMMC is how they verify it.
A gap assessment takes weeks, not months. It gives you clarity instead of anxiety.
It shows you the exact distance between where you are and where you need to be.
The contractors who start now will certify first.
They will win recompetes.
They will be the ones primes call when new work drops.
Don't wait until you lose a contract to find out where your gaps are.
