Information Security Gap Assessment

Information Security & Cyber Security are now part of Risk Management of any enterprise. In order to support business objectives, lots of investments are made in the areas of technology. But, mere deployments of latest technologies are not sufficient today as we need to ensure that all the Information Systems are working efficiently and effectively to deliver business value.

Apart from operational efficiency, Information Systems need to comply with various industry standards and regulatory compliance requirements.

Primary objectives of Information Security Gap Assessment:

  • Identify Weaknesses : The assessment helps identify areas of weakness within the organisation's information security controls. It compares the current state of information security practices against industry best practices to determine the gaps.
  • Ensure Robustness & Effectiveness : By conducting a security gap analysis, organisations can ensure that their Information Systems, People, Processes and Security Controls are robust, effective, and cost-efficient. It provides insight into the status of cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities.
  • Establish Correct Governance Structure and Controls : The assessment can guide organisations on the correct governance structure and controls to put in place. It helps organisations align their security practices with industry standards and requirements, including regulatory compliances.
  • Develop an Information Security Roadmap : The assessment provides a roadmap for improving security and maturity level. It considers risks, staffing, budget requirements, and timeframes to complete the recommended security improvements. This roadmap helps organizations prioritize and plan their security enhancements.
  • Enhance Customer Confidence : Conducting a thorough information security gap analysis demonstrates the organization's commitment to providing the best security possible. It can help build trust and confidence with customers, as they know their information is being protected effectively.
