Overview

Security Gap Analysis?

Security Gap Analysis compares your current security posture against a target framework or desired state to identify where controls are missing, insufficient, or ineffective. It provides a clear picture of your security strengths and weaknesses.

Our analysis goes beyond checkbox compliance. We assess the operational effectiveness of your controls, identify quick wins for immediate improvement, and create a prioritized roadmap that aligns security investments with your highest risks and business objectives.
