ISO 27001 Gap Analysis

Your first step to compliance

Teamwork’s ISO 27001 Gap Analysis service utilises pragmatic, business-focused methods. Our consultants help clients, partners and stakeholders benchmark their systems against best practices, a vital step towards ISO 27001 certification. Our approach involves interviews with key personnel to assess your current compliance with the required Standards.

Why is Gap Analysis important?

A gap analysis is a key stepping stone in aligning to the requirements of ISO 27001. Following the gap analysis, we generate a detailed and comprehensive report for review by your key stakeholders. This report succinctly highlights your areas of compliance with ISO 27001 requirements and more importantly, identifies the gaps. We accompany this with actionable recommendations and a realistic timeline for achieving ISO 27001 certification.

How we work

Interview

Teamwork conducts a high-level comparison of your organisation’s core processes, practices and documentation against the requirements of ISO 27001 and recognised industry best practice. The analysis highlights areas of compliance as well as gaps, providing clear insights into where improvements are needed to meet the Standard effectively.

Documentation

A high-level assessment of your current documentation and processes is conducted to determine their alignment with ISO 27001 requirements. Any gaps or areas for improvement are identified, with recommendations provided to help enhance practices in line with the Standard and recognised best practice.

Analysis

Following completion of the ISO 27001 gap analysis, Teamwork prepares a comprehensive report outlining the findings. This report is presented to your key stakeholders and clearly identifies areas where your organisation already meets the Standard, as well as any gaps. For each gap, we provide actionable recommendations and a realistic timeline to help you achieve ISO 27001 certification.

Implementation

Teamwork will develop a Continual Improvement Plan (CIP) outlining key implementation actions, assigned owners and realistic timescales. The plan is designed to be a living document that can be regularly updated and expanded as progress is made and priorities evolve.
