Practical Guide to Security Gap Analysis in Compliance
To conduct a security gap analysis, first define the assessment scope and select the applicable framework, such as HIPAA, SOC 2, or ISO 27001. Review each requirement against your existing security practices and supporting evidence. Assign maturity ratings to identify weak controls, missing processes, and documentation gaps. Then prepare a remediation roadmap outlining what needs to change to reach your target maturity level. Finally, implement the required improvements and maintain evidence that the controls work in practice.
