A security control gap assessment compares an organization’s existing safeguards, policies, procedures, and related practices against defined security or compliance expectations. The assessment helps identify areas where current controls may be missing, insufficient, inconsistently implemented, or otherwise require attention. Findings can then be used to establish priorities for remediation and strengthen the organization’s overall control environment.

Strengthening Your Control Environment
When an organization is preparing for an audit or reviewing its cybersecurity program, control gaps may not always be immediately visible.
