Gap Analysis

Organizations that lack a comprehensive security risk management plan that addresses compliance find themselves in crisis mode as their annual regulatory deadlines approach.
With a common misconception that meeting compliance requirements implies comprehensive security, performing a Gap Analysis identifies the discrepancies between regulatory obligations and holistic security hygiene.
What is a Gap Analysis?
An iV4 Gap Analysis gives clarity to the compliance gaps between your current and desired state.
The purpose of a Gap Analysis is to compare you to a control framework and find specific disparities that need to be corrected.
By identifying weak areas in your security program, a Gap Analysis enables you to:
- Have a clear plan on what to do next to close your security gaps
- Develop a prioritized roadmap to accomplish your security and compliance goals
- Know where you stand in comparison to regulatory frameworks
Gap Analysis Approach
After a workshop and in-depth review, iV4 delivers recommendations on precautionary measures, remedial actions and compliance strategies.
- Workshop to review your current compliance status, including security policies and procedures
- iV4 performs an in-depth review of security controls against mandated compliance requirements
- Implementation of automated compliance application for information collection and gap reporting
Today, consistently evaluating security controls has become critical to ensuring even the most basic security posture.
If you’re a business concerned about protecting intellectual property from cybercriminals or an enterprise with mandated compliance requirements- applying a standardized framework and mapping your controls to it gives a clear measurement of where you are and where you need to go.
