Gap Analysis
Find out how far you are from your target standard, and get a clear, prioritised plan to close the gap
One analysis
Any framework
Before you build,
not after
Building in the dark. Most teams start an ISMS by copying templates, buying a compliance platform, or writing policies against a framework they’ve never mapped.
Paying twice. The real cost of skipping a gap analysis is the platform subscriptions, consultant retainers, and engineering time you spend rebuilding what was scoped wrong.
Finding out too late. The worst place to discover a missing control is an external audit, a regulator’s request, or a customer security questionnaire.
Start with the facts
Where you stand
Every control in your target framework assessed against what you have today: what’s in place, what’s partial, what’s missing.
What matters most
Gaps ranked by risk and impact. Leadership sees what matters most, engineering knows what to build first.
How to close the gaps
Every gap comes with an owner, a timeline, and an implementation path.
Skip the rebuild
A gap analysis hands you a risk-ranked roadmap with owners and timelines, so you build the right controls, in the right order, once.
How we work
Scoping & Planning
We define the boundaries (frameworks, systems, teams, risks) so the analysis matches your actual scope, not a generic template.
Control Review
We assess your existing controls against the framework. No long questionnaires. No pulling engineering into a month of interviews.
Gap Identification
We pinpoint what’s missing, what’s partial, and what’s in place but not evidenced, across people, process, and technology. Every gap rated by risk and impact.
Gap Report & Roadmap
You get a written gap report paired with a prioritised build plan with owners, timelines, and dependencies. A walkthrough session closes out the engagement so leadership and the team leave aligned on what happens next.

We were fully prepared for our ISO 27001 external audit!
ReadySecGo ran our internal audit and got us ready for the external one. They worked with us as a team, understood the technical detail, and delivered structured findings in the Internal Audit Report, right on time.
Nikolas StrommengerISO · kobaltblauFrom zero to ISO 27001-compliant in 9 months.
We came to ReadySecGo with no prior compliance knowledge or experience. They took us through every step, and in just 9 months, we had an ISO 27001-compliant ISMS in place. The team was reliable, competent, and above all very reachable.
Ilias MichalariasCEO · SLASCONEThe external auditor was very impressed.
What I particularly liked about ReadySecGo was the speed, the flexibility, and how knowledgeable and engaged the team was. We had a very insightful internal audit. By the 2nd surveillance audit, every potential nonconformity had already been identified and addressed. The external auditor was very impressed.
Boris BudeckISO · XQueueA valuable team member gained.
ReadySecGo took us through our first ISO 27001 surveillance audit, which we passed cleanly. They've since taken on the position of our external CISO, bringing real technical expertise to the role.
Christian FriebelCTO · TecArtWhy ReadySecGo
Most gap analyses end with a PDF. Ours ends with a prioritised plan that has owners, timelines, and a clear next step, so implementation starts the week the report lands.

Get startedYou get a clear picture of where you stand and a plan to close the gaps. We map every framework requirement against your current controls, so you can see what's covered and what's missing. Each gap is scored by risk and impact, so you fix what matters most first, not what comes first in the standard. Every fix gets an owner and a timeline in a phased roadmap your team can start working from right away. A short executive summary gives leadership what it needs to approve the budget and priorities.
Before you commit serious time or money to implementation. If you haven't mapped your controls against the target framework, a gap analysis tells you what you're actually building, so the budget, timeline, and scope are based on reality, not a template.
Probably, yes. Compliance platforms track controls against a framework's checklist. They don't assess whether those controls actually apply to your scope, or whether what you have is audit-ready.
Yes, if the person running it is independent of the team that will implement the controls. Otherwise the analysis gets shaped by what's convenient to build, not what the framework actually requires.
Yes. Every gap comes with a severity rating, an owner, a timeline, and dependencies. Leadership knows what to prioritise, engineering knows where to start, and the engagement closes with a walkthrough so the team leaves aligned on the plan. The roadmap isn't a list of problems. It's a project your team can run from the week the report lands.
