Cyber Security Gap Analysis

INTRODUCTION

Identify gaps and weaknesses in your cyber security

By running a cyber security risk assessment, you can identify the gaps in your cyber security.

The purpose of a cyber security gap analysis is to allow organisations to identify areas of weakness within their network security and should be part of the overall business continuity plan.

The analysis is based on the guidance provided in the NCSC 10 Steps to Cybersecurity and will highlight what your business should be doing by comparing against industry best practices so that the correct procedures and controls can be implemented to bridge the gaps.
