Know where you stand before someone else decides.
Someone else is either an assessor or an adversary, and they are looking at very different things. Gigit is a full-spectrum cybersecurity firm covering offensive testing, application and cloud security, AI security, and security leadership, with our deepest bench in CMMC and federal compliance, where getting it wrong costs you the contract.
Control coverage: NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2

Where most of the work lands.
Groupings, not a menu. Engagements routinely start in one lane and end up touching two, because the compliance answer is usually an architecture decision wearing a policy costume.
CMMC, FedRAMP & federal programs
Government
Readiness for the assessments that gate defense and federal work: scoping, gap analysis, documentation, remediation, and mock assessment.
- CMMC Level 1 & 2
- FedRAMP
- NIST 800-171
- NIST 800-53
- DFARS flow-downs
ISO, SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA
Commercial
The same methodology pointed at the frameworks your customers and regulators ask about, with shared controls mapped once rather than audited twice.
- ISO 27001
- SOC 2 Type 1 & 2
- PCI DSS
- HIPAA & HITRUST
- NIST CSF
Testing, architecture & leadership
Cybersecurity
The work that measures whether a control holds rather than whether it exists. Offensive testing, application and cloud security, and security leadership.
- Penetration testing
- Application security
- Cloud & M365
- vCISO
- Incident readiness
Architecture & security for AI systems
Agentic & MCP AI
Securing systems where a model takes actions, including the MCP layer that is becoming how enterprises expose internal tools to agents.
- MCP architecture
- Agent red teaming
- AI governance
- Model testing
- Adoption advisory
Not seeing it? A good share of our work never announces itself as a category. Bring us the problem that does not fit one.
Ask about itA passing score is not the same as a hard target.
Every framework on this page measures whether a control exists. None of them measure whether it holds. That gap is where our testing practice lives, and it is the same gap an attacker is counting on.
What an assessment asks
- Is multifactor authentication enforced?
- Is the system boundary documented and diagrammed?
- Are privileged actions logged?
- Is there a written incident response plan?
- Are backups performed and tested?
What we ask
- Which service account bypasses it, and who knows that?
- What did the diagram miss: the lab, the vendor tunnel, the shadow tenant?
- Can the logs be cleared by the account that would need clearing?
- Has anyone executed it under time pressure?
- Can the backup be reached from the machine you would restore after?
Both halves, one engagement. Compliance readiness and offensive testing are usually sold by different firms. Buying them together is how findings actually make it back into the controls.
See the testing practiceEight frameworks, one methodology
One methodology across all eight, so shared controls get mapped once instead of audited twice. And because we are independent of whoever assesses you, there is no divided loyalty between getting you ready and the result.
- CMMC DoD and Department of War contractors handling FCI or CUI
- FedRAMP Cloud service providers selling to federal agencies
- NIST SP 800-53 Federal systems and organizations inheriting federal controls
- NIST CSF Organizations building a risk-based security program
- HIPAA / HITRUST Covered entities, business associates, and health tech
- PCI DSS Anyone storing, processing, or transmitting cardholder data
- ISO 27001 Organizations needing an internationally recognized certification
- SOC 2 Type 1 & 2 SaaS and service organizations answering customer due diligence
Credentials
Verifiable, not aspirational.
Every compliance engagement is led by a Certified CMMC Professional or Certified CMMC Assessor with direct experience supporting organizations through DIBCAC audits. Those are individual credentials, held by the people doing your work.
- Accreditation
- RPO-3217 Registered Provider Organization listed on The Cyber AB marketplace.
- Position
- Independent We have no stake in your result, so nothing we advise is shaped by wanting the assessment work too.
- Range
- Offense and defense The same team that maps your controls also tries to break what sits behind them.
- Based
- Boulder, Colorado Serving defense, space, research, and commercial clients nationally.
Start with the gap, not the guess.
A basic gap assessment tells you where you actually score. A full mock audit tells you what an assessor would write down. Either is a better first conversation than a proposal.
