A cybersecurity gap assessment is a proactive review of your current security posture to identify what’s working, what’s missing, and where you’re vulnerable. It compares your existing controls to industry standards like NIST CSF or ISO 27001 and compliance requirements like GDPR or HIPAA.
Think of it as a blueprint check to strengthen your defenses. It evaluates your people, processes, and technology to ensure you’re not leaving doors open to attackers.
Why It Matters
Without a clear picture of your security gaps, you’re guessing—and cyber threats move too fast for guesswork. A gap assessment helps you prioritize risks, meet regulatory requirements, protect business operations, and make smarter decisions about where to invest in cybersecurity.
What Does a Gap Assessment Include?
It typically covers:
- External vulnerabilities (what attackers can see)
- Internal systems and access controls
- Policies, procedures, and compliance alignment
- Incident response readiness
- Employee awareness and training
- Third-party vendor and supply chain risks
The end goal: Provide leadership with a clear roadmap to reduce risk, improve resilience, enhance stakeholder trust, and avoid costly surprises.
