Cyber Security Gap Analysis

What’s involved?

Cybersecurity requires constant vigilance and a proactive approach. One valuable tool that can help organisations stay ahead is gap analysis. 

A gap analysis is a methodical review of an organisation ‘s security posture in comparison to a desired set of standards. This process identifies dents in the armour, assesses the risk and prioritises gaps for fixing. Conducting a security gap analysis is essential in ensuring an organization’s cybersecurity policies and procedures are adequate

We can perform gap analyses against several frameworks and standards, including:

• NCSC Top 10
• NIST CSF
• NIST 800-53
• ISO/IEC 27001
• UK NIS Directive
• GDPR (UK)
• CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Top 18)
• SOC2
• Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix

How does it work?

If you do not have a specific framework or standard in mind, we will work with you to determine the scope and standard that is appropriate.

We will then review your organisation’s information security posture. This review will be undertaken against the organisation’s people, processes, and technology.

During the assessment, our consultants will review relevant policies, processes, and other documentation that is pertinent to the organisation’s information security program.

We will interview key stakeholders with specific information security roles and responsibilities. Some security controls are also likely to be sampled during the process.
