Gap Assessments
A focused review of your security program against a chosen framework such as NIST CSF 2.0, showing where you stand and what to prioritize to reach your target state.
Overview
A gap assessment compares your current security posture with a chosen framework or target state and highlights the difference. It answers where the most important gaps are, how serious they are, and which improvements deserve attention first.
Assessments can be aligned to frameworks such as NIST CSF 2.0 or a standard relevant to your sector. Scope can include control review, interviews, and documentation analysis, resulting in a prioritized roadmap that connects each gap to business risk and a practical improvement plan.
Benefits
- Provides a clear, framework-based view of current posture against a defined target state.
- Prioritizes gaps by business risk so improvement effort is well directed.
- Aligns to recognized frameworks such as NIST CSF 2.0 for a common language across the organization.
- Delivers a practical roadmap that turns findings into sequenced, achievable actions.
