What Is Gap Analysis?
A gap analysis gives organizations a clear view of how their current practices align with required standards. The assessment examines policies, procedures, and daily activities to identify areas for improvement. A compliance gap analysis connects these findings to specific regulatory or certification requirements, so each action item has a clear purpose. The process highlights strengths; outlines needed updates and sets priorities that support steady progress. Leadership gains practical insight and a focused plan that supports ISO, security, and industry compliance goals. Each review builds a robust foundation for system updates, audit preparation, and long-term operational confidence.
