Compliance Gap Analysis

Know exactly where you stand before an auditor tells you

We assess your current controls against the compliance framework(s) you need to meet, and deliver a prioritized, actionable roadmap to close every gap.

What is a gap analysis

A clear picture of "where you are" vs. "where you need to be"

A compliance gap analysis compares your existing policies, technical controls, and evidence against the specific requirements of a framework or regulation. The output isn't a generic checklist — it's a control-by-control breakdown of what's already in place, what's partially in place, and what's missing entirely.

Whether you're preparing for a first-time audit, responding to a customer security questionnaire, or maintaining an existing certification, the gap analysis gives you a defensible starting point and a realistic timeline to close remaining gaps.

You'll walk away with:

  • A control-by-control gap report mapped to your target framework
  • Risk-rated findings, prioritized by severity and effort
  • A remediation roadmap with owners and timelines
  • Audit-ready documentation templates and evidence guidance
  • Optional hands-on support implementing fixes

Our process

From kickoff to remediation roadmap in five steps

Scoping & framework selection

We confirm which framework(s) apply, the systems in scope, and any deadlines driving the engagement.

Evidence collection & interviews

We review existing policies, configurations, and documentation, and interview key stakeholders.

Control-by-control assessment

Every applicable control is rated: met, partially met, or not met, with supporting evidence noted.

Gap report & risk rating

Findings are consolidated into a report that prioritizes gaps by risk, effort, and audit impact.

Remediation roadmap

You receive a phased plan with owners and target dates — and can engage us to help implement it.
