A gap analysis is a systematic assessment comparing an organization's current state against ISO standard requirements.
A gap analysis is a structured diagnostic identifying differences between an organization's current practices and the requirements of a specific standard. It produces a findings map with remediation priorities and a measurable action plan.
Establishes a quantified baseline of the current compliance level, allowing implementation progress measurement.
Classifies gaps by criticality, enabling resource allocation to highest-impact nonconformities first.
For a reliable diagnostic, the assessor must be independent from the team that will implement corrections.
It depends on scope and standard. An ISO 27001 gap analysis for a mid-sized organization can be completed in 72 operational hours. More complex standards or broader scopes require more time.
It is not a formal ISO standard requirement, but it is universally recommended practice. It helps avoid major nonconformities during the certification audit.
Typically includes: findings report classified by clause, gap matrix with percentage compliance level, and prioritized action plan with effort estimation.
Assessment within 72 business hours. ISO methodology. No ties to certification bodies.
