ISO 27001 Gap Analysis
Trusted Cyber Security Experts
25+ Years Industry Experience
Ethical, Professional & Pragmatic
An ISO 27001 Gap Analysis ensures your organisation and infrastructure is fully prepared to go through the ISO 27001 certification process.
ISO 27001 has become the globally-recognised standard which organisations can use to audit and certify their Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Achieving ISO 27001 accreditation demonstrates to your customers and users that you have a robust management framework and ongoing processes in place to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your IT infrastructure and the data handled by it.
An ISO 27001 Gap Analysis allows you to benchmark your organisation’s policies and technical controls against the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard, before you apply to an ISO 27001 Certification Body to become accredited. The Gap Analysis allows you to identify areas in your organisation’s processes, policies and technical controls, which may prevent your organisation from achieving ISO 27001 accreditation – enabling you to implement the necessary control measures and be fully-prepared for the final audit.
Cyber Risk Assessment
The first stage in our ISO 27001 Gap Analysis is a Cyber Risk Assessment. Using a workshop-based approach, our consultant(s) will help your organisation identify the types of information assets that are used to store and process your data, such as workstations, servers, databases or cloud-based services such as Microsoft 365. For each of your information asset categories, we help you identify the real-world threats that can affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of your organisation’s data or services. Once we’ve identified these cyber threats, we work with you to understand the business impact and likelihood of these threats being exploited if no policies or controls are applied.
When used in the context of ISO 27001 certification, a Cyber Risk Assessment enables a risk treatment plan to be created in the form of a Statement Of Applicability (SOA), which shows the Annexe A controls that can be applied to reduce the overall risk to a level which is acceptable to your organisation.
Policy & Documentation Review
With documented policies and procedures forming a large part of ISO 27001:2022 certification, it is imperative that your organisations documentation is written and structured in a way that clearly outlines your organisation’s cyber security controls in a way which can be easily understood by your employees and stakeholders.
Our consultancy team will conduct a detailed review of your existing documentation that is relevant to ISO 27001 certification – providing recommendations and suggestions that will both satisfy the certification requirements and will further strengthen your organisations policy controls.
Gap Analysis Workshop
The latest ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard contains a total of 93 potential controls that are grouped together into the following four control families:
- Organisational controls
- People controls
- Physical controls
- Technological controls
Through a series of remote workshops, one of our ISO 27001 Certified Lead Auditors will work with your organisation to discuss each of the controls that are applicable to reduce the level of cyber risk in your organisation. Each of the relevent ISO 27001 controls will be covered throughout the workshops, to ascertain if your organisation is compliant with what is required by the ISO 27001 standard, or if additional work is required before you initiate the accreditation process.
In addition to this, our consultant will also review what will be required to implement the standard ISO controls & clauses within your organisation and will identify the actions required to build your ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Preparing for your ISO 27001 Gap Analysis
- Existing company documentation (in Microsoft Word format) that you feel is relevent to cyber security. For example, Acceptable Use Policy, Password Policy, Joiners, Movers & Leavers Process & Disaster Recovery Plan
- Availability of key personnel in the organisation. For example, IT Manager, Data Protection Officer (DPO), Procurement, Human Resources and Legal.
Reporting
Our clear & concise consultancy reports enable everyone in your organisation to understand the compliance gaps that have been identified and the actions that should be performed before your ISO 27001 audit.
Our reports include:
- A “board-level friendly” Executive Summary
- Detailed gap analysis findings for the ISO clauses and Annexe A controls
- Remediation Action Plan
Debrief Call
Once you have received our final report, you have the option of attending a conference call between the consultant(s) involved in delivering your project and individuals within your organisation who you feel would benefit from a more in-depth discussion of the report’s findings.
After Care
Once our consultancy engagement is complete and our final report has been delivered to you, our consultancy team remain available to you indefinitely for any questions you may have surrounding the report’s findings or our consultancy engagement with you.
