Security Gap Assessment
Know your gaps. Faltrox measures your current security controls against a recognized framework, pinpoints exactly where you fall short across people, process, and technology, and delivers a prioritized, risk-based remediation roadmap.
Overview
Know Your Gaps
You can't fix what you can't see. A Faltrox security gap assessment measures your current controls against a recognized framework, pinpoints exactly where you fall short, and hands you a prioritized, actionable plan to close the distance.
We assess people, process, and technology against a target standard, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and produce a clear gap analysis: what's in place, what's missing, and what's partial, with the risk of each gap made explicit.
The deliverable isn't a list of everything wrong, it's a prioritized remediation roadmap that tells you which gaps to close first for the greatest risk reduction, and what it takes to get there.
Assess Your GapsLandscape
What We Measure
A gap assessment looks across the full breadth of a security program, not just technology.
Governance & Policy
Whether policies, standards, and accountability structures exist and are followed.
Risk Management
How risk is identified, assessed, treated, and reported across the organization.
Technical Controls
The state of access, endpoint, network, cloud, and data protection controls.
Detection & Response
Whether you can detect, investigate, and respond to incidents effectively.
Asset & Data Management
Visibility and control over assets, data, and third-party dependencies.
Program Maturity
How repeatable, measured, and continuously improving the program is.
Process
Our Assessment Process
A structured review that produces an evidence-based gap analysis and a costed remediation plan.
- 01
SCOPE
We agree the target framework, scope, and business context for the assessment.
- 02
GATHER
We review documentation, interview stakeholders, and examine control evidence.
- 03
ANALYZE
We measure the current state against the target and rate each control's gap.
- 04
PRIORITIZE
We rank gaps by risk and effort to find the highest-value fixes first.
- 05
ROADMAP
We deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap with owners, effort, and outcomes.

FAQ
Common questions
01What is a security gap assessment?
It's a structured review measuring your current security controls against a recognized framework such as NIST CSF or ISO 27001, identifying exactly where you fall short and delivering a prioritized plan to close those gaps.
02How is this different from a maturity assessment?
A gap assessment measures presence and adequacy of controls against a target, what's missing. A maturity assessment measures how well-established and repeatable your capabilities are, how good. They complement each other, and we offer both.
03Which framework should we use?
It depends on your goals, NIST CSF for a broad risk view, ISO 27001 or SOC 2 for certification, CIS Controls for practical technical hardening. We help you choose the target that best fits your obligations and ambitions.
04How long does it take?
Typically two to four weeks depending on scope and organization size, covering documentation review, stakeholder interviews, control evidence examination, and the prioritized roadmap.
05What do we get at the end?
A current-state analysis, a risk-rated gap register, a prioritized remediation roadmap with effort and owners, and a board-ready executive summary, everything you need to plan and fund improvement.
06Can you help us close the gaps too?
Yes. We can deliver the assessment and then support remediation through our advisory, implementation, and managed services, so the roadmap turns into real risk reduction.
