Know your security gaps before your auditors — or attackers — find them.
A cybersecurity gap assessment benchmarks your current security controls against a recognised framework — ISO 27001:2022, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, or a specific regulatory standard like RBI or SEBI. The output is a risk-scored report that tells you exactly where you are, where you need to be, and what to fix first. It is the logical starting point for any ISO 27001 programme, compliance project, or board-level security review.
A structured process — so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
Define the assessment scope — business units, systems, geographies, and the target framework (ISO 27001, NIST, RBI CSF, etc.).
Review existing policies, procedures, contracts, and technical configurations against framework requirements.
Structured interviews with IT, security, operations, HR, and management to assess actual control implementation vs documented state.
Sample-based testing of key technical controls — access management, patch status, logging, backup, and encryption.
Risk-scored gap report with a prioritised remediation roadmap — quick wins, medium-term improvements, and long-term programme items.

A cybersecurity gap assessment is a structured review that compares your current security controls against a target framework — ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, or a regulatory standard. The output identifies what controls are in place, what is missing, and what needs to be strengthened, with each gap risk-scored.
For most organisations, a comprehensive gap assessment takes 2–3 weeks from kickoff to final report. Smaller organisations or limited-scope assessments can be completed in 1–2 weeks.
A gap assessment reviews your security controls, policies, and processes against a framework — it is a governance and process review. A penetration test actively attempts to exploit technical vulnerabilities in your systems. Both are important but answer different questions: a gap assessment asks "do we have the right controls?"; a penetration test asks "can our controls be bypassed?".
It is not formally required, but it is the standard first step in any ISO 27001 programme. Without a gap assessment, you are designing and implementing controls without knowing your baseline — which wastes time and money on controls you may already have or do not need.
