Services / Gap Analysis
A detailed, framework-specific analysis of where your organisation stands against certification requirements. We map every control, identify every gap, and give you a clear remediation roadmap.
Use cases
A Gap Analysis is the right starting point in a wide range of situations, from first-time certification to M&A diligence.
Understand exactly what needs to be done before committing to a full certification programme.
Give leadership a clear, evidence-based view of compliance risk and required investment.
Following a security incident, understand whether compliance gaps contributed and what needs to change.
Assess the compliance posture of an acquisition target before deal completion.
Identify overlapping controls across multiple frameworks to maximise efficiency in your compliance programme.
Demonstrate compliance readiness to enterprise customers or partners requiring evidence of your security posture.
Process
A structured, evidence-based process that gives you a complete and accurate picture of your compliance position.
We agree the target framework, scope boundaries, and key stakeholders. You complete a short intake form so we can prepare effectively.
We request existing policies, procedures, system documentation and any prior audit findings. A secure portal is provided for document sharing.
Where relevant, we review your technical environment, cloud configurations, access controls, logging, and security tooling, against framework requirements.
We conduct structured interviews with key personnel across IT, operations, HR and leadership to validate controls in practice.
We map every framework control against your current state, identify gaps, assess severity, and build the remediation roadmap.
We deliver the full report and walk you through findings in a structured debrief session, answering questions and agreeing next steps.
