Know exactly where you stand on ISO 27001—get your compliance roadmap in 1 week

Our gap analysis typically takes 2-3 weeks: Week 1 for scope definition, Week 2 for documentation review, and Week 3 for situation appraisal and reporting. The timeline can vary based on your organization's size and complexity, but we'll give you clear deadlines upfront.

A gap analysis identifies what's missing and creates a roadmap—it's an assessment, not implementation. Implementation is the actual work of fixing gaps, writing policies, implementing controls, and preparing for certification. Think of gap analysis as 'what needs to be done?' and implementation as 'doing it.' We offer both services—you can do the gap analysis first to understand what's needed, then decide if you want us to handle implementation.

That's exactly why you do a gap analysis—to know before you invest. If there are major gaps, you'll get a prioritized roadmap showing what to fix first, realistic timelines, and cost estimates. Some gaps are quick wins (documentation), others take longer (new controls). The gap analysis helps you decide: fix gaps now, improve maturity first, or skip certification but strengthen security.

Not always, but it's highly recommended. If you already know your gaps (maybe from an internal assessment), you can jump straight to implementation. But if you're unsure where you stand against ISO 27001, the gap analysis gives you clarity before investing time and budget. It's a separate 2-3 week engagement that pays for itself by preventing wasted effort.

You'll receive: (1) Overall compliance maturity score with domain-level breakdown (Organizational, People, Physical, Technological), (2) Prioritized gap list with risk-based ranking, (3) Remediation roadmap with cost/effort estimates for each gap, (4) Strategic options analysis (certify now vs. improve first vs. skip certification), and (5) Clear next steps with timeline options.

Maybe, but probably not as close as you think. ISO 27001 requires documented evidence across 93 controls—policies, procedures, risk assessments, training records, monitoring logs, incident response plans. Most companies have good security practices but lack the documentation and systematic approach ISO 27001 requires. The gap analysis shows you exactly what's missing, not just what you have.

Yes, absolutely. We offer ISO 27001 implementation services as a separate engagement. After the gap analysis, you'll have a clear picture of what needs to be done. If you want us to handle the implementation, we can start immediately—no need to repeat the assessment. Many clients do the gap analysis first to understand scope and cost, then engage us for implementation.
