Define the readiness scope
Identify the applicable requirements, systems, stakeholders, and evidence needed for a useful review. Distinguish current implementation from planned work.

Compliance & Security Readiness Consulting
Turn requirements into evidence, ownership, and an executable plan.
Security requirements become difficult to manage when scope is unclear, evidence is scattered, and remediation has no owner. Ellihan helps teams organize security engineering and readiness work around their applicable requirements.
Discuss your prioritiesWhere to start
Does this sound familiar?
- The team has requirements but no agreed system boundary or evidence inventory.
- Policies, technical settings, and day-to-day practices do not tell the same story.
- Vulnerability findings and remediation actions lack clear priorities or ownership.
A practical approach
How we can help
Review gaps and evidence
Support NIST-aligned control reviews, CMMC preparation, STIG-related security engineering, vulnerability management, and POA&M development within the agreed scope.
Plan and track remediation
Translate findings into actions with owners, dependencies, and evidence of completion. Support documentation and coordination for authorization or assessment preparation.
What the work can produce
- A requirements and evidence inventory for the agreed system boundary.
- A prioritized gap assessment and remediation plan with named owners.
- Organized readiness documentation and a practical approach to maintaining it.
Ellihan provides consulting and preparation support. No CMMC assessor status, certification authority, or guaranteed compliance outcome is claimed. Confirm the requirements and appropriate assessment route for your organization.
Questions to consider
What is the difference between readiness support and certification?
Readiness work helps a team understand its implementation, evidence, and gaps before an assessment or decision. It does not itself issue a certification, assessment result, or government authorization.
What should we bring to a discovery conversation?
Bring the requirements you believe apply, a high-level system description, any prior findings, and the date or decision driving the work. Avoid sending controlled information or sensitive technical records through the public inquiry form.
